At least yours is a rich smell. Can't break anything that way except maybe foul a plug. I would just take it in with the stock tune, stock air box and the exhaust the way you have it now.

Well I took it in to my shop, they pulled the bank 1 02 sensor and they said it was reacting slowly. They cleaned it and put it back in but the same P0171 code came up. They ordered a new sensor and they'll put it in tomorrow. Im hoping thats the problems since the sensor is slow.

Get yourself an aeroforce interceptor gauge and you can actually see how fast the O2 sensors are working
. Your 02's flip back and forth between .1 (lean) and .9 (rich) volts when cruising or at idle. Only at WOT do they actually show a set voltage.

Well the 02 sensor was replaced. The mechanic drove the car around and didnt get any check engine lights, no gas smell or shaky idle. But I was just wondering how much you guys can feel the rumble of the engine in your seat, Im still in alert mode so I cant really tell if the idle is smooth enough.

I told you it wasn't really lean.
