How bad can you smell your exhaust?Testpipe users

I was considering strongly about going catless but that whole exhaust(smelling it really bad) thing bothered me and I want to know from you testpipe users, how bad is it really and is it worth using a testpipe?

I dont notice mine anymore than usual in the car, but maybe Im immune to it. I had a test pipe on my previous two cars also.

I never ever have smelt exhaust in the car with my TP.

Furthermore, People who say they have had that problem have a major exhaust leak.

You will only smell it if you are sitting still at the drive thru at Micky Deez with your windows down. Otherwise you wont even notice the smell

I'm completely catless, but I don't smell anything when I'm driving. I do smell it if I'm standing outside near the rear of my Evo while it's warming up. I roll my windows down all the time while I'm driving, and I really and truly can't smell anything such as the "gas smell" you're talking about. I'm sure other people will be able to smell it if they are driving behind you and you decide to go full throttle or something. If you think the smell will bother you at all, I wouldn't go catless.

while moving, I haven't had a problem, but sometimes at stoplights you can smell it, if you get a breeze from the back. It's a little worse when the car is warming up.
