Default gaseous smell on exhaust
is this a common sign of exhaust leak? i've been having this problem since after the dp install. car runs fine and no CEL but the smell does not go away even after the car warms up.

Default Where are you smelling it? Gaseous??
Do you mean it smells like gasoline, or you're smelling exhaust?

Default What part, right when you open the driver's door? I had a gasoline smell when I was straight
no cats; the car was running very rich.

for a leak test just to make sure.

Not sure why you'd be smelling gas though...even if a leak You sure it's not just exhaust?

Default check the fuel vapor return hose
Sometimes heat from the exhaust can melt it but will eventually throw a check engine light.
