I have been told that catalytic converters help with the smell. I rather like it though.

I've seen a product from Manhatten oil advertized in Summit Racing . Different fragerences They goe in the gasoline and makes the exhaust smell like Tangerine, Licorice, Lemon, Vanilla, Watermelon, Root BBBeer, Pina Colada, Blueberry, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Cherry Bomb, Groovy Grape, Cinnamon, Raspberry, Strwaberry, Banna, Fruit Punch, and Apple. Try opening up the garage doors before starting the car.

Lol! Mike, I'm not so sure if coming home smelling like bubblegum or cotton candy would work for me. Wifey might find it less out of character if started using WD-40 or Kleen-Bore as an aftershave.

Hum ...

My Clothes Smell Like Exhaust?


that is one of my favorite parts about driving a cobra
I tell people that make a comment on the smell that it's Cobra Cologen called VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
"nice, the sheets smell like exhaust!" Needless to say, I slept like a baby
Congratulations on a true Cobra experience
I have been told that catalytic converters help with the smell. I rather like it though.


Acute exposure to carbon monoxide is notorious for causing permanent brain damage and death.
Prolonged exposure over time causes damage to the central nervous system, heart, lungs and kidneys.

No thanks, I'll fix that exhaust leak. I know it's not the macho thing to do, but maybe if we apply a "don't ask, don't tell policy", you'll let me hang with ya until YOUR pumper succumbs to vapor lock! yuk yuk

Since you're so keen on enlightenment and saving us all from ourselves, why don't you buy a Chevy volt and save the planet too while you're at it? Har Har

Buzz, your premis is once again incorrect, I'm not keen on saving you from yourselves, I'm keen on pointing out stupidity.
