no more turbo whistle :(
I just had to put my catalytic converter back on my formerly straight piped exhaust to pass inspection. The exhaust is much quieter now and I miss the way it used to sound. If I dump it over the axle, I'm hoping it will echo off the ground and make it a little louder. I read on other forums that I could possibly melt the rear brake line. Has anyone had trouble with this?
Also, the exhaust smells much different now that the cat is back on and the smell is very noticeable in the cab. Is this normal?

If you smell exhaust in the cab i would bet you have an up or y pipe leak. One good way to tell is close windows and turn on the heat or air and see if you smell the fumes if you do then odds are you have a leak somewhere . Oh i grew up in Norfolk and don't miss the inspections at all, in TN no inspections at all .

I used some pb blaster on one of the pipes to get it loose so maybe its burning that off. But like I said, the truck had this smell when it was stock, then went away when I straight piped it. It just seems stronger now, maybe I got used to not smelling it so that's why it seems worse now.
I felt all the connections where the pipes meet and I don't see or feel any exhaust leaks. For the most part the smell is only when sitting in traffic or idling.
