Why do Ford's smell?

[Hos]

Why do most late model Falcon's exhaust's smell particularly bad? Moreso than other makes and models.
When you follow a Falcon, even on the highway, they stink.

Any logical reasons? Exhaust components? This is not meant as a piss take.

Catalytic converter burning off. My guess is the temp they allow.

Can't say that I've noticed this. Maybe it's the eco-lpi models ??

I think it is all in your mind buddy

As other posts have indicated, catalytic converters not working properly. However, can't say I've noticed any smell from Fords, Toyota cars on the other hand are very bad and I can't see how they can get away with it.

There are advantages to having a poor sense of smell, like me! Especially if someone drops their guts in a lift.

It was long before the eco-lpi models. EA - EB's exhaust smelt like rotten eggs in the early 90's when they were new. Cant say Ive noticed it on EF to AU models though. On BA onwards, they only seem to smell strong of exhaust odour when the driver guns them away when overtaking on the highway. Or full throttle acceleration.

As for the cause - On the EA -EB's, may have been the manufacturer of the batch of Catlytic converters used on these models?

For BA on - Rich factory tune (ECU feeding it more fuel) under heavy acceleration?

Just reading the thread now and can't believe it has taken so long for someone to throw this one in.
