Default Does your exhaust burn your eyes?

I know that most will tell you that its because your car is running rich but is there any other reason why? My cam only car (with LT's and an ORY) is tuned and is running as it should too. Anybody have any ideas or explanations?

When I just had LT, ORY and a tune it smelled but didn't burn. I now have a cam in there as well and now it burn's. I have a good tune so I know it's not that.

is this when you are outside the car while it's running/behind it, or when you are sitting in the drivers seat?

While driving I can't smell anything at all myself. It's only when the car's sitting still.

no cats will do that to ur eye's. give more details, cats/no cats, is it tuned for the cam, burns when idle car not moving or when car is moving on street or highway. what else does ur exhaust have? cutout. does it burn when cutout is open? needs more info bro!!!!

I'm cammed (231/237 112)with Lt's x-pipe, dumped in front of axle with no cats and my eye's dont burn.
