Hey Folks,

Need some help, AGAIN!! I just installed a PRL catless down pipe, I have been smelling a slight exhaust fume smell inside the car, its not all the time mainly when I'm at a complete stop, I tightened everything down to torque spec, only thing I can think of is a bought it used maybe the gasket connecting to the front pipe is compromised? Not sure....
I flashed the ECU with my hondata FP as well...

Has anyone run across this in there type r? please advise... THANKS AGAIN FAM.....

I don’t feel any smell driving , and if I’m stock windows close no smell at all , windows down , just a little bit if I drive at high rpm sand then I do a fast stop .
Catless , aftermarket exhaust and front pipe . Check all the gaskets if you bought the front pipe used replace and clean the flanges or use a exhaust sealer
