For you guys that have test pipes does it smell after you go into v-tec and come to a stop. or even all the time also did it make your car smoke when v-tec engages

 

You will smoke a bit more because you'll be running a little rich, if no tuning is done after the fact. Since there is no cat in place the lovely "rotting egg" smell will become apparent, mostly for the people behind you

 

haha yeah it just stinks cuz nothing gets filtered lol

 

hehe mine only stinks when i roll the window down

 

Just hope the cops don't notice

 

You will find that with a test pipe you are going to have a residue build up close your bumper area just above your muffler as well as on your hatch and even sometimes the bottom side of your wing. When you wash your car, simply spray some degreaser on your hand and gently rub it over the residued spots. Make sure you quickly wash it of though, then rewash with soapy water. That will take care of the residue issues though. Oh and make sure you keep that area of your car waxed at all times, will help with the protection of you paint

those black dots are your oil that's burning away

 

wow, i've never dealt with any of this lol, i've never smelt any rotten egg smell, wow... i have no restrictions in the exhaust at all, 2.5" from collector to a JUN muffler, no test pipe, no resignators anything, and i've never smelt anything at all, and i cruise with the window down always, with the heater on as well

the smell of 100 octane is great though i can vouch for that
