So this is my second Foxbody - the first was an 89, and I had just about the same setup exhaust-wise. I remember the 89 would leave me smelling like gas if I had the windows and or the top down. So me, not thinking, decided to do the same thing with my 91. I guess I just wasn't thinking.
I have stock headers, BBK Offroad X-Pipe, and American Thunder Flowmasters. Car is low mileage (38K), so I am assuming the headers are solid and have no leaks, but I have not physically checked. I decided to take off the catalytic converters when they put on my exhaust because I wanted a meaner sound. I screwed up by doing this and now I am trying to figure out the best course of action to make my car drivable again without me stinking like gas.
Should I try to find someone to put catalytic converters back on? Would this more than likely take away the odor? Keep in mind I sold them for a couple hundred bucks when I put on my exhaust, so I will have to find some more somewhere.
I think my first course of action will be to take my car back to the garage where they put everything on and have them check everything out underneath to see if there are any leaks?
Trying to get the car ready for spring, but the top can't go down until I get this fixed!
Thanks!!
