When i had test pipes on my Z I rarely noticed a smell, occasionally I would get a faint whiff though. Never bothered me.

If you're used to the way your catless Mustang smells, your catless G will smell like spring flowers in comparison.
The G runs a heluva lot cleaner than your Mustang, but you'll still have a slight lingering of the proverbial "rotten egg" smell.
People's tolerance vary widely. Some like it, some get headaches from it. But remember, OFF ROAD use only right!!
