    Hi all, I have a very (hopefully) simple question which has been bothering me for the last few days.

    Since installing some 02 eliminator plugs on my 08 VTEC, I've noticed the exhaust smells a little. I'm presuming it's because she is running a bit richer? I haven't noticed much (if any) difference to fuel economy and she definitely runs smoother with them in.

    Is this normal/safe to just use the 02 plugs or am I going to kill the cat?

    Thanks for your time everyone,
    Steve

    Did you just do the elims, or did you install an FI module with them?

    Hi I just installed the 02 eliminators (which I've done before on my old VTEC). It's not really a sulfer smell I don't think, more like a smelly inline 4 kind of smell!
