It's really weird, but when I was a kid, the smell of a clean burning exhaust without catalysts was ethereal. As I have got older, I find it obnoxious. Maybe it's because they took the lead out.

Good gosh... I think my F just has fallen victim to this. For the past week, everytime I accelerate, I get a strong smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. Looks like this is going to get expensive real quick since I'll be looking for a set of PPE headers and some one to install them.
BTW, my car is about to hit 150k after tomorrow's commute.

After reading this thread I'm getting worried. I have 60kms on my 08 and I don't smell any fumes yet. Perhaps I should be excited to replace the manifold once it starts cracking with PPE headers

I'm glad that I read this entire thread! This is such a great community where we are able to help each other out. My car has been making a ticking/sputtering sound when in Park for probably close to a year. It never bothered me since it would usually go away after shifting into Drive. I had my dealership inspect my engine and exhaust and they found a crack in the right side manifold. They replaced the manifold and gasket which fixed the issue. I hope that this doesn't become a recurring issue every 50-60K miles.

Then you sold me your PPE headers and I sold them to my friend to buy PPE V2, who is using them to this day without a hitch haha.
