Last time I smelled raw gas - it was mechanical fuel pump squirting the bottom of the alternator.
Exhaust fumes in car

What size exhaust is that and do you have a part number for those cats?
It be hard to believe that the idle bypass or lack there of wasn't adding to the excessive emissions in the vehicle.
Though adding the high flow "cats" is an interesting concept.

"High flow cats" I always chuckle to myself about that, because there is no such thing. LOL
Hilarious! Hopefully the term "friend" is used loosely...
Hmm... there must have been some improvements since the can full of pellets...
Use a teenager, or even better your wife. That way you can also get some peace and quiet…..
It wasn't a joke. We used to do it all the time to find air leaks in new cars at the dealerships. It works. Very well, I might add.
Very, very little. A converter requires heat in order to remove NOX gasses. A lot more heat than a "normal" exhaust produces. That extra heat comes from the restriction of the media. Whatever it is. There ARE no high flow cats. I don't give chit what the BS marketing says. Believe what you will.
I don’t disagree with you.
Golden!
When she gets out, she'll more than make up for any peace and quiet you got. lol

Full TTI with 3 inch out the back. The cats are 3"inlet/outlet with a 4" body. You can actually see through the metal hybrid matrix, so significantly more flow than a factory style converter. They are designed differently for different end results. One for maximum emissions reduction and the other for higher flow at the expense of maximum emissions control.
Even though I was running the factory JTEK computer on my 408, I used an electronic O2 simulator to get a consistent square wave and avoid the check engine light the CEL code would likely have popped up. There was no noticeable drop in power output from the engine.

For the uninformed:
A 100-cell catalytic converter flows significantly better (less restriction, more power) than a 200-cell one because it has fewer internal passages (cells per square inch) for exhaust gases to navigate, but it offers less surface area for emissions control, making it more prone to triggering a Check Engine Light (CEL) and potentially failing emissions tests. A 200-cell cat balances better flow than stock (600-800 cells) with improved emissions cleaning, making it a common choice for performance street cars, while 100-cell cats are for maximum flow in motorsport.

I got your uninformed hangin and swangin. Here's a little tidbit for the uninformed. It's called marketing. You believe the BS. That's why they throw it out there. To sucker weak minded people in and make them believe anything. I don't care what any sales pitch, articles or graphs and charts say.Full TTI with 3 inch out the back.

Just something to check, the lower steering column seal. Mine was toast and I was getting engine fumes/smells in the cabin.
Absolutely a good idea! Some of them are slap missin and people don't even realize something is supposed to be there!
