Qustion on smell with true duals
I am looking at getting LT's and true duals installed. I want to go the catless route and have them exit infront of the rear tires. I was wondering if there will be a bad gas or exhaust smell. I carpool with my other half and I would never hear the end of it if this is the case. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

With the windows up, when cruising you can't smell anything. With them down, sitting at red lights/parking lots you will smell fuel. It doesn't smell bad, just like exhaust should. Not a big deal.

Yeah, what simp said. If the windows are up no big deal, or if your on the highway w/ the windows down no big deal. But driving around the city with the windows down will smell...like exhaust fumes. Especially if you get the dumps angled away from the ground (like mine). I doubt she'll like that very much, or the sound b/c it will be LOUD
Here's a pic of my setup, and I smell like fuel after 30 mins of driving. I ride alone most of time though and don't mind it.

Dude!
True duals dumped at the axle without cats can be dealt with.. But true duals exiting in front of the tires that close to the doors is a different story.
You can try it out, but I recommend adding cats if you want side exits. If you go without cats and notice that you're falling asleep in traffic.. Then you'll know that it's time for a change.

i had my exhaust this way but i had to change it. personally i got tired of the smell(at idle) and the noise,so i went under the axle and out the back. as far as your other half.......women hate loud cars. when i give my gf's friends a ride, the first thing they do when they get in the car is make a face and ask me why is my car so loud?and why does it shake so much?is there something wrong with it??????

I only smell mine at red lights if the wind is blowing from the rear towards the front. If your exaust stinks really bad then your A/F ratio is off. Mine was awful untill I got it tuned. Your right about some girls, but they are pretty few. Most of them that I date, like it right off the bat, but usually wind up complaining later on down the road. Thats just a good excuse to use her car/gas
