Hey Guys,

Not sure if this is normal but ive had my exhaust for nearly 7-9 months now, and ever since i have been getting a strong smell of petrol when i turn the car on or off never while im driving.

I thought it was just the smell of the exhaust, and also use bt ultimate.

I put injector cleaner but made no difference. Inside the cannon the smoke martial (not sure what its called) is very dark. I took a tissue and put it in front of the exhaust while the car was on it went completely black

What does this mean?

Any feed back would be great.

Thanks

Babylon

Check the seal on the side of the fuel tank where the inlet pipe goes in... mine looks brittle and i have dampness (of petrol) around it.. just bought the O ring that replaces it... my smell gets worse when the tank is full, and if i do a hard left..

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
