But at the same time, I like the smell of gasoline by itself, I dunno... Just smells good

I was worried moving to suburbia in PA that my cold starts would piss off all the neighbors in the HOA and have them at me. As of yet 1. No one's complained and 2. It's not as loud here as I thought...

I really don't mind the smell at all, but don't want the extra attention from police/epa. We apparently have these ba$tard vans that take emissions readings on on-ramps in VA, then mail you a ticket...some for thousands of dollars. I had test pipes on my car before it was TT and it didn't bother me one bit. Now that the car is TT, it is running a little more rich (need to get a custom tune) and the smell is much more noticeable.

That is why I have been going back and forth on including the cats in my 3" TDX (Ask Tony, I have changed my mind TWICE already). I didn't have any problems with test pipes (knock on wood), but really don't want to end up getting harassed. I am just hoping I don't have to give up too much power to do that. |

[QUOTE=XwChriswX;1587859]All I say is my car isn't Registered in VA, I'm not licensed from VA, I don't live in VA, don't bug me...
There's one solution! Maybe it is time to move? |

Out here I've been told they only do a safety inspection, no emissions inspection. Just need to call/confirm/setup an inspection appointment so I can get my tags, then the beauty of figuring out what I want my tag to say...

The smell never bothered with test pipes or with the TT. I want a way to cut down on the soot all over the bumper. But even that isn't a huge deal. It's fairly easy to clean.
Hey Tony! Got a 3" update for us?

That sounds more like a problem dealing with the angles of tips than the smell... Are they angled up, or not sticking far enough out behind the bumper??
