smell and smoke at high rpms
heres my problem... my car seems to run fine at low rpms , but when i bring it past about 3500 it starts to sound wierd and i smell some sort of burning... also when i look in the rearview mirror i can see smoke that must have came out of the exhaust. Does anyuone have a clue whats wrong?

Well Ive heard of the exhaust smelling bad without cats. The smoke might also be from the lack of cats since it could be stuff theyre not burning up.
I havent driven mine since I put on an offroad X pipe so I havent been able to prove it though.
