so i just got my car tuned, its pushing 258 hp to the wheels pretty good i guess, but my car still smells of gas from the inside, its a pretty strong smell too, does anyone know what could be causing this strong smell? i have stock injectors. i have an exhaust leak, but im not sure that would cause this smell
 
Do you have a flow through cat. That will make the exhaust smell alot, especially when you are at a stoplight. An exhaust leak is your problem too. I would fix that for $20 at an exhaust shop then report back.
 
I remember I had an exhaust leak... lost way to many brain cells that week. It caused smell of gas and you could kinda hear the turbo "despool" but yea its prob the exhaust leak.
 
thanks guys i appreciate it, gonna take my car into a shop later on this week, i hope its just an exhaust leak
