Exhaust smell

Does everyone with long tubes and race cats have a smelly exhaust? Its the one thing I don't like about my car. I'm debating about switching to shorties and the stock cats.

I know people with that same problem with stock cats. You might relocate them farther back in the system.

MBH high flow cats. The system only has a couple hundred miles on it though. Regardless, I wouldn't expect any smell...guess we'll see. Don't know if anyone else has your issue...it wouldn't be pleasant for me either.

I got ARH LTH with cats and I'm high everyday, really bad during cold start. I swear if I light a match I will blow up
