Carbon smell is it Bad ?

Hello i Owen a 1997 GTS Viper.

I am doing a Major service to the car in general by my self.

Like: Oils, spar plugs, wires, waters, do you think i missed some thing important ? "Do i need to change any sensors"

There is this thing ! The car exhaust has a carbon smell at the end of it ! is it bad for the car or a problem ?

you can smell it out side of the car,

I have installed long Ballenger headers and straight pipes no cats at all and no leaks in the system !

Sound is massively strong but i love it .

Any suggestions or advice please ?

Any time cats are removed, the smell is like an old car... kind of like an old American "Hot Rod". It usually smells very strong of gas and makes your clothes smell like exhaust after a long day cruising around. I'm sure your car is fine... the smell is just a bit stronger than a typical car and sometimes makes your eyes and nose water more than normal.

p.s.... welcome to American exotic muscle my friend.

That's Exactly Right.

Thanks alot for the nice gretting FroG

What a dumb Question i feel stupid asking that !

I not that expert in engine interner stuff and repairs but i was just wondering and just to make shore ?

Do you think that "oxygen sensors" and "air intake sensor" effect the car performance in any way ?

The car is 11 years old theses sensors had never been changed at all !

I would believe that the censors would be fine.

If they are bad, they will certainly effect the performance, but you would most likely notice it. When they go bad, often the effect is atrocious gas mileage, stumbling, reduced power, ect... If you really want to know if the O2 sensor is good or not, you can usually hook an electric meter up to them and see if the output voltage is within spec.

I wish so guys

It could be cheap over here, But the octane level and the clean es sucks over here !
Always fuel pumps fail and blocked injectors and sand in gas tanks.

1 Liter of gas in Saudi is around:-
91 octane $ 0.12 cents
95 octane $ 0.17 cents

Gas prices are cheap but the water and electrical bills and life in general like buy a house or renting any thing is so high right know every ones is feeling the heat of prices

If gas prices goes up over here !

I'll sell my viper and get me a Camel

It's almost worth the risk of getting beheaded just to fill up the tank at .60 cents a gallon.
