So the other day me and a few peopel were standing around my car talking and we start to notice this rotten eggish smell. An old van was parked not far away, so we thought it was that. but then we realised that the van was gone, and we were still smelling it. During the last few days I've noticed that my exaust STINKS... sometimes worse than others. WHY?

chemical filters that enable the cat to actually work get clogged and too dirty, thus makin the stink.

I have high-flow cats (through BRM) for $100. Good way to support your site and get what you need!
