2 questions

Post by AzuRiK »

When I drive my mx3 over 4000 rpm it make a sound thats looks like a VTEC :lol: , but I don't know what it can be. I have my stock k8 and stock exhaust, headers ALL stock. I heard about the VRIS that open near 4000 rpm, can it be that sound ? of its just a normal sound for a v6 mx3 with the stock exhaust ?

second, my car smell bad ( Exhaust smell ) when I drive, I have no oil on the motor and no gaz or oil on the driveway, so there's no leak. Can it be because I dont have my catalysor ( Spelling ) ?

Thanks, now that I know about VRIS, I'll say VRIS JUST KICKED IN YOO!!! :roll: :lol: 8)
