sickly sweet exhaust smell
Will a new catalytic converter get rid of that smell or is that also a
Jeep thing? Seems like all my buddies Jeeps have had that smell. I'm
putting on an all new exhaust from the manifold back... and wondering if
I should bother with the cat, no emissions to worry about where I live.

Re: sickly sweet exhaust smell
Do know the smell your talking about... but don't use the cat if you don't
have to... creates additional back pressure and heat.

Re: sickly sweet exhaust smell
That's how the cops used to describe "pot" smoke, isn't it? Maybe
something's going on *inside* the vehicle... ;-)
