One could use the 200 cell option of they wanted full smell free. The car smells similar to a diesel truck now weirdly enough. Doesn't bother the wife or kids at all since everyone is used to that smell.
The smell with catless dp's along with straight pipes is awful! It's way too loud(my neighbors want to shoot me every morning I start it) and have been told it now sounds like a turbo diesel...the only good that came from going catless is the amazing sound of the turbos spooling I'm going to be installing a full exhaust system asap...my wife can't take the smell anymore
