Smelling like ass.... - Page 2

Another emissions thread.... This has been compiled with rigorous searching, looking, asking questions, and generally sitting on the forums for about two years now.

We all know that our cars suck when it comes to emissions. California seems to be pure hell with it, while some of us are blessed with living in a state with either very little, or NO emissions testing. I am one of the latter. Now, while removing it ALL seems like the plan right now, I have read a lot of threads with people complaining about their cars smelling bad after doing so, especially with FB owners. Now, about 99% of states require visual emissions testing as well as the sniffer test, most of our cars will fail no matter what....

However, if, lets say that we only require a sniffer test, and the "Visual" does not matter...

From doing EXTENSIVE research on the forums far and wide, the only conclusion I have, is that you

A: Need a good, non rotten out catalytic converter
B: Need the air pump because it helps with one of the gasses that is in the exhaust.
C: Need a properly functioning OMP and good compression to achieve a proper fuel burn rate and not eat too much oil.

Ok, here comes another issue: A lot of FB and FC owners with no emissions, cat, or air pump complain about their car smelling really bad. And this is a VERY common occurrence as well. What do these people have in common? No cat and no air pump! So, this leads me to believe that, were I to keep these things, my car would not stink? I will get a nice aftermarket hi-flow cat if my theory is true!
