    Default Smelly exhaust fumes

    Hey guys I just Drove my car to the gym and back on the way back had a bit of a funtime in it lol, well when I got home the exhaust fumes smelt... Like sort of plastic but mostly smells like shi* aha but there's no smoke? I've read the stock cats could actualy hide the problem? Someone have the same issue as me or am I just worrying bout nothing?
    Sorry for the long post thanks in advance

    Did you allowed the car to idle for a while?....from what i read the smoke disappear when you on the move but once you are stationary a period of time then smoke present itself.

    If smells like burning plastic then Im afraid it will be the damned turbo

    As long as there is no smoke - NO SMOKE-NO PROBLEM
    The smell is probably "Rotten egg gas" can't remember the chemical name. It is caused by over fuelling in the cat - which is simply caused by the engine cleaning out after a bit of a thrash (quick drive)

    Sulpher Dioxide gas
