Has anyone noticed a bit of a fumes smell after you went catless? Or should I make an appointment to get the car checked out.

Raw gas smell or stinky exhaust smell?
If raw gas, do you have a catch can installed?
Stinky is "normal" but you can outrun it if you try; following cars aren't so lucky.

It's quite normal to smell like gas at idle... while driving it shouldn't smell like gas but depending on when you got it installed it still might need to break-in. I know for my catless DP it sounded weird at first but after around 400 miles it sounds nearly perfect.

Yeah I normally catch some whiffs at lights and when I park in my garage. I figured it was common with catless I just wanted to be sure
