[TR] exhaust smell in car

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

Ron - We had the same problem on our TR-6. We could actually smell
engine/exhaust fragrance in the cabin. I tried some extensions on the
exhaust tips and they made no difference. The problem was a disconnected
hose on the charcoal canister. I'm guessing that we were getting some
crankcase vapors in the car. Now all we smell is gasoline, gear oil, and all
of those other typical LBC smells. Now I'll get in trouble - was your
girlfriend's comment an observation or a complaint? Just kidding!!

The girlfriend mentioned that I smell of car exhaust when using the TR-6.  I
was wondering if putting downturn tailpipe extensions on might help.  As it
stands, the pipes end about even with the outer edge of the rear bumper
which looks "right" to me, but I seem to recall that the original set up had
longer pipes.   Anyone been there/done that?  Does it help?  Where'd you
find the extensions.  I have not been able find 1 7/8" diameter tips yet.
