Installed ORY, exhaust fumes are overwhelming
I know this has been said many times before, and I was prepared for a little bit of a smell after the install, but MY GOD this thing reeks! It's untuned at the moment so I'm hoping a tune will get rid of some of it.
Unfortunantly I didn't buy 02 extentions so we just spliced the wires, is it possible that the splices were no good and it's been in open loop? Is there a way I can find out if it's going into closed loop?
If this smell isn't reduced by at least 50% after a tune and the correct 02 extentions then I'm getting cats. Maybe I'm a ***** but the gas smell is just unbearable.
Thanks for any help.

with my old setup, lts, y pipe and catback no cats and SD tune the fumes are just rediculous. smell horrible everytime we get out, but im going to assume also because i have no o2s hooked up at all and i believe that would be running in open loop? car has a good tune on it but with the new true duals setup i will be getting a clean up\check af tune done. maby that will help as well

Once it's tuned it shouldn't be bad at all, especially with a stock cam.
IMO, unless you did a perfect job splicing in the extensions be prepared to buy new (longer) O2 senors. I'd get it scanned to make sure the O2's are working correctly before you get it tuned.

For some reason I didn't have the gas smell with my car very much before my tune, but everyone says that a good tuner can stop the smell. Idk Wth they can do to change it but Xxxmotorsports did eliminate all fuel smell and I have emission free Lts and a ory . Hope you can get your problem solved.

I honestly don't think mines that awful and I've never had someone tell me that I smelled like gas. A cop mentioned that my car had a weird smell to it once but I told him it just wasn't running right. I guess it just depends on the person.

I love the smell of mine...sometimes I don't smell it at all other times it may be strong for some people but I like it. Hoping the Emissions people don't mind haha
