Default Installed Long tubes and now...

I just installed New Pacesetter Long tubes along with pacesetters y pipe. Got the Bosch rear vette o2s. Deleted my rear o2s. Now i have a really strong gas smell from the exhaust. Not leaking fuel. Just the exhaust almost burns my eyes standing next to the car. Also if i stand near the car for longer then a minute the smell so strong that my clothes smell like it for hours. Whats the deal? The car running Rich ?

Is there a simple fix for the Pacesetter Y pipe to stop banging on the floor board / Transmission support?

Also, after i installed the headers and y pipe i uncapped my Cutout (Zed Style) and it sounds pretty good till i get to about 2k rpms - 2.4k rpms then i have this loud ratteling of some sort coming from back there? Is that because the cutout is uncapped? Or is something really ratelling back there? Anyone else have this problem? Its only done this after the LT and Y pipe install ?

- If you arent running cats, its gonna stink. (Some more than others). It is also going to run richer than a stock car. Get it tuned if its bad enough.

- To stop it from banging, this should work: http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=3&pcid=54

Poly motor mounts will stop the Y from banging and fix a lot of other potential rattles. The smell......get used to it. Mine isn't near as bad, but it definitely smells.
