When I get on it fairly hard and then shut down, I often notice a weird exhaust smell, maybe a bit like sulfur or gunpowder...difficult to describe, but definitely my exhaust.

I thought it was other vehicles, but it's definitely mine. I'm not getting on it till it's good and warmed up, by the way.

2001 L, < 20K miles, stock. Just noticed it a few weeks ago.

Ideas?

 

Soudns to me like you need to run it more. It will be ok if you do....


Your just heating up the stainless exhaust pretty good!!

If you live in the midwest ,it could be the 10% alcohol in the gas you are smelling , i smell the alcohol in my garage when i start her up, i used to think it was a glycol leak somewhere ?

 

It's from the cats getting hot. Noworrys. Mike

 

I had a funny smell. I haven't driven my truck in a while though. I will let you know once I get it back. -Mat-

 

Big Vito over on svtperformance.com had a similar problem. Turned out it was some cheap cigars .

Mine does the same thing, as did my '97 Cobra. I think it is normal. I kinda like it... smells like POWER to me!

 

Rotten Eggs smell = bad cats
