Default Exhuast smells ..Is this normal

Smells kinda like jet fuel or a strong burning the nose and eyes even on idle..Could I be running lean or rich? Or is that how they always smell?

No that is not normal. Get your exhaust system inspected ASAP.

For leaks? Are you talking about fumes making your eyes burn inside the car?

OR are you talking when you are standing behind the car?

Does it have a cat?

I had a big block Chevy without cats that did that it - would make any man cry like a girl LOL

It may be running a tad rich ... if it was though you'd think it'd blow a little black smoke...?

Are your plugs clean and dry?

I haven't checked the plugs really..My concern was running lean..I smoke sometimes under boost.

I want to do a tune up anyways..What type of plugs are best for my setup(mods in sig)?
