Default 95 sc400 No cats, running rich

Well i have been messing around with my lexus for a while now. Started with BFI and a jet chips ecu retune. then took off the resonators.

Now i have IMF headers, NO cats, magnaflow x in the center, duel magnaflow mufflers.

so much more top end but now it seems to be dumpin gas. smell is terrible with fuel at start. little better once it warms up but still smells like its running rich. any ideas?

nope its the smell that you get not having cats.

put the cats back on smell will go.

and the "retune" will not help aswell.

No cats = smells bad.

I've been told my car is hard to drive behind and it idles and cruises fine at about 15 to 1.

If you want to be sure what its doing, get a wideband.
