does your car stink, smell, burn eyes, smoke with DPs

Tiago@VRSF · 01-06-2015, 08:37 PM

I've heard of cars passing the sniffer test with catless DP's & the OEM catback on more than one occasion.

Do any of you live in an apartment/condo and park in the building's parking garage? If so, have you had any neighbors or anyone else complain about the car stinking up the garage?

If your turbo seals are bad removing catted downpipes will make your car smoke and smell like oil.

No,I park in a closed garage underneath the building and at cold start up it's loud,but settles down to almost stock in under 3min.

This would be me

The stock exhaust does a great job of hiding catless downpipes..

Thanks. I guess it doesn't matter right now since I have been demoted to parking outside for the winter so the girlfriend can have the garage spot.

running the engine bay without the upper cowl and cabin filter panel is one of the most pointless mod I have seen so far. just saying...

catless dp will smell, and you will notice it with windows down, more so in parking garage and slow traffic. but the cabin filter does a pretty good job of filtering all the smell, so you won't ever notice it with the window up.

Cloud9Blue, I have noticed a drop in engine temp. and i personally like the increased sound hearing the turbos LOUD as hell is awesome to me.

I really want DPs but I feel like it's gonna mess up my car cuz I'm gonna be raping it a lot more. The dealer just replaced injectors, coils, plugs, and a turbo solenoid cuz it was getting stuck and making a noise however no 30ff codes or any change in driving. I just had a loud clicking sound on idle that would go away when I blip the throttle, most ppl said its normal. I seen many n54s make that sound

Off topic
The dealer also just replaced my HPFP due to long cranks that happened after using 20% e85. YAL think its a coincidence or was I that rare 1% lol

I just got my VRSF dp installed last week and PTF is tuning my car for it. There is a bit of smell but i don't care, i don't sit behind my car and breath... the car runs much better, more power, faster spool... I have another car that I use for the family..

tc535i · 01-07-2015, 01:36 PM

these cars have so many sensors and monitors that rarely will you actually run significantly rich unless you're tuned rich as hell to cool combustion temps

I wish you guys knew what my buddy's 1970 Monte Carlo smelled like

had to run fuel fragrance additives just to avoid having your clothes smell like ass after driving it
