Will a set of cats get rid of the gas smell? Here's the deal I have a stroker with a cam that has 29* of overlap.
So I will be swtiching my TD's for my GMMG and ORY (which I already have all of that) but when I had it on before my wife hated it because every time we rode in the car we would smell like exhaust fumes
Will a set of high flow cats help?
Or would just putting a bullet in the I-pipe do the trick too?

Have you thought about changing out the cam? At the end of the day you still have a lot of overlap and to justify the overlap free flowing exhaust is a must.

dynoed 488 with the GMMG 491 with the TD's
I think its flowing pretty good, I do all my own exhaust work and engine work to, I think I would lose more power from a cam swap and it would cost more.
the reason I ask this question is I have not had cat's on this car for 7 years.
wife hates teh smell and doesnt like to ride with me and I keep getting pulled over
