fuel smell

So in my 94z m6 the exhaust really smells like fuel. Is this just because of the cat being gutted or maybe o2s??

Yes, your lack of catalytic converter can cause a richer-than-usual smell. The converter burns unburned and partially burned fuel. Did you just gut the cat?

no it was like that when I bought the car about 5 months ago. It just seems to smell more now that I have the magnaflow on instead of the flowmaster idk prb nothing. It has a slight shutter/miss sometimes so still have to fix that hopefully plugs and wires.
