Hello cl, I have a question. And I want to be as concise as possible.....so I am.the 3rd owner of an 08 gs 350..it was maintained at Lexus frequently with the previous two owners according to the carfax. New timing chain gears..water pump etc. It's very clean in and out.black interior(155,000k miles now)...I plan to paint the exterior pearl white like my previous car 00 gs 300 rip...however when I accelerate ( I drive safe) but in open space or after a hard acceleration ex: merging onto the freeway the exhaust smells bad! I can only compare it to a strong egg smell almost (my children compare it to farts)...I searched around on here and found catalytic converter as a possible answer or poor gas use from previous owners.... I took the car to a reputable muffler shop in my area...boss man said it wasn't the catalytic converter and that in fact its working and instructed me to buy kb??? Fuel injector and pour in the tank on a full tank. DID THAT STILL SMELLS. so if it is can this smell ever be cured??? I like my car. It's what I wanted for so long and I set out to get one and I did. But now I'm second guessing because I have a good looking smelly exhaust car. LoL!! No fun having a lexus if I can't drive it a little.


btw..I will be taking it to the dealer to fix the leaking rear main seal in a few days..I plan to inform them of the smell...but I wanted to get some feedback from cl before the repair dept gives me a terrible prognosis and repair costs of $8000....(the rear main seal is $1274 plus tax....another mechanic said he could do it for $900 but I hear the transmission must be removed to replace the rear main seal so I prefer the dealer)

anyhow, Thanks for your time!
