Failed Emissions!! Reply #30 – December 14, 2005, 10:59:29 PM Quote from: 5.0willgoI'd like to have a sniff:giggle: My car does smell bad, but so do many of the late 80's-93 mustangs I see (both with and without cats). I have worked on mine and cleaned every possible thing I could. It has a new egr, new injectors (yes I paid Ford's price for them:yuck: ) and I've replaced all the various sensors on top of the manifold and so on. I've had the car looked at and nothing can be found. It doesn't seem to run really rich or really lean, it just has a strong odor about it and it got much worse after I pulled the cats and installed the h-pipe.The thing is, I have two more with which to compare. Before and the 87 XR-7 don't smell like that AND they passed.After does have Mustang headers with Mustang stock H-pipe and Flowmasters though. Quote Selected

Before and the 87 XR-7 don't smell like that AND they passed.After does have Mustang headers with Mustang stock H-pipe and Flowmasters though.That's why, before and the 87 are mint stock. All the factory or aftermarket factory hardware is there. I have Flowmasters on as well as the Lincoln headers and mustang off road h-pipe. When I had the Flowmasters put on, which was the first thing I did to my car, the guy told me I might not pass. I thought is was BS since I never really heard about a ler causing you to fail.However the exhaust smell got stronger after the lers were put on and even worse after I put the h-pipe on. Don't forget too that I put in a rebuilt longblock before I put in the h-pipe.The car had a slight smell with the original lers and original motor but it did have a small exhaust leak. Quote Selected
