Sour smell from exhaust?
Been noticing a sour'ish smell from the exhaust. Not loosing any coolant, not burning any oil, plugs look fine, no smoke. Not using a cat and resonator is only a few months old so I don't think it went bad. I don't think it ever smelt this way before.
What could it be?

Because you state you don't have a cat and your resonator is newer. If your in a "winter" area, the smell may have been there since you had exhaust repair and/or cat removal, and haven't noticed it until summer and the windows are down.
Temp. also has a lot to do with several different aspects of how your car runs. Thus the question.
Cars without cats def. smell a lot more than those with working cats. Running lean and/or rich will produce different smells as well.

I had the exhaust done in Spring so I always had my windows down, dont have a/c. Like I stated it didn't smell like this untill a little while ago.
