Agreed, I daily drive my car and the fumes can be annoying sometimes, but honestly I'm getting kind of used to it. It probably isn't a good thing to be inhaling in that stuff all the time, but whatever. The sound makes it worth it

Run an ORY if you want to stink like gas, get a headache from the fumes, **** everyone off that drives behind you (because they smell it too), have your wife or girlfriend never want to get near your car (because it stinks just like you do).

Run cats if you want to eliminate the raw gas smell, maybe run into less problems with the pollution police, have your girl happily ride shotgun, help eliminate some rasp from your exhaust.
