I liked the sound of dumps a lot, just like the look of tail pipes better on a LX. If I had a GT and the same exhaust I have now(flowmaster 3 chambers, O/R X pipe), I would dump it again.

Yes..in most cases you will smell more fumes. A good cure although not 100% is to get new weather stripping all the way around...it really helps with the fumes.

On a stock car it's basically just what sound you like. They may make a small difference with the free flowing exhaust if the engine is built.
