I had my 4" turbo back MBRP Cool Duals exhaust installed 6 weeks ago (w/ the cat delete pipe). Ever since then, the diesel fumes have become really strong at idle. My wife doesn't like riding with me because she says it stinks so bad. Is this normal?

No, its not normal. At least not with my truck, or any of my buddies that have cool duals. Sounds like you may have a leak at the downpipe, or some other location close to the cab. I'd get underneath your truck with it running,(parking brake on!) and listen for leaks, or look for any soot at any of the pipe connections.

mine is terrible latley, smells like cajun turkey :D been running b7.4 lately with peanut oil from turkey day

however when she is just running on the ulsd she smells different than with the lsd and the odor is more on the rancid bean smell if she runs in the garage, makes your eyes water FAST..

Robert, are you talking about the BOSS or are you talking about your PERSONAL exhaust smells?

Thanks for the info. I will do that!
