Those with aftermarket exhaust.....
I have a question for you guys with aftermarket exhaust (particurly JoeZ and Borla) I was wondering after you installed the exhaust do you now get increased exhaust fume smells in the cabin when the windows or moonroof is open? When I had my 350(F-sport exhaust) I couldn't cruise with the moonroof open without filling the cabin up with fumes.

With my Joe-z exhaust, I did not notice any gas smells but once I went headers I did.

Only from behind the car or if a breeze blows it in, but it's more of a delectable fuel smell that makes me smile. No cats-Sikky and JoeZ.

Not with my exhaust either.
As mentioned above, provided you still have the primary cats in place, you won't detect any fuel smells inside the cabin.
If you change your headers and don't add any replacement cats, you're likely to smell fuel.
Hope this helps.
