Unfortunately, when I installed my Joe Z exhaust at the dealership, I told them to throw away the old exhaust lol (Due to lack of space in my apartment + I plan on keeping the car for a long time.)

Thanks for the graph, Lou.
And thanks for the input guys.

I guess I can try it out with no cats and see what it's like. If it get's too bad, I'll just order the cats and have them welded on.

It turned out to be a small leak on my exhaust (burned gasket). After fixing the problem the smell went away, unless I'm on a drive-throu or in a garage.

I can't wait to get them and put them on. I fell in love with how Joe Z woke the car up. I want to fall in love again!
