Default Cherry Scented Exhaust????????????

I got my new JEGS catalog and saw this stuff you add to the gas tank to make your exhaust smell nice.. :eek:

It is for CATless cars..

They have about 15 different scents...Is this for real? Has anyone really used it? DOes it work? I can imagine this being good for the injectlors and 02 sensors...

Might be tempted to try the Cherry :D :D

There are a few peoplw at the track I run at who have grape smelling exhaust. It's very strong. You don't have to be very close to smell it.

If it is for catless cars, you don't have to worry about o2 sensors.....

Works on gasoline now? Last time I saw it it was for nitro-burning engines - that's pretty cool. I plan to get some for my r/c cars. :D

Catless cars with cats removed, say a C5, still use one set of O2 sensors for A/F, post cat set of sensors replaced with sims...
