[Z06] OFF Road x pipe vs catted x pipe

OFF Road x pipe vs catted x pipe
I got a 2007 Z06 with an HPE stage 3 kit (Cam and headers). I went with the off road x pipe because it was lighter and offer about 10 more rwhp. The problem I have is every time I use the car I end up smelling like gas. I want to know is there anyone out there that can tell me how happy you are with a high overlap cam and a catted x pipe. Does it totally eliminate the strong gas smell especially when a using an aggressive cam? Are you happy with it? I am trying to decide if I should order a catted x pipe.

I have a Katech Torquer cam with Kooks headers, X-Pipe and racing cats. There is a slight smell at start up and then that is it.
I think the only way you could tell 10 HP would be at the very end of a long straight at high speed. just my 2 cents.
