iamlegend Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 had couple screamer pipes with no smell in cabin at all but recently had my ibiza with turbo back but not screamer etc but same prince able and it was the seal on the decat caused it to stink of fuel.. when sold up put the stock cat back on and no smell so yeah the seal was poor on the decat.. check that also you used a new gasket and sealant ?

Maxep Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yep, I also get that smell when I'm on boost with a screamer. But it goes away rather quickly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 So it's normal? That's pretty stupid, I got light headed and had a headache the whole of the next day, looks like I'll be making my own screamer pipe then because carbon monoxide poisoning isn't exactly funny Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I don't get fumes in my cab and haven't with any set up I've ran Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Really depends what way the screamer pipe is facing and what way the wind blows it when your driving lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Open or window or buy a newer car without a decat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Or don't decat it at all and leave it stock haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah cause the decat affects the screamer pipe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Fair point lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Get the same smell from a decatted exhaust especially one that may leak slightly. So how do you think the people behind you feel when sat in traffic if you cant bear your own screamer while moving? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah because sitting behind my car in a separate car is as bad as the screamer coming in my cabin ahahaha Thinking about routing the screamer somewhere but with the rad hoses where can it go? I drive it fast too much to 'just open a window' I had the window open when it made my light headed lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
