Rich exhaust smell after tune

[rspengle]

Does anybody else notice a significantly richer smell when driving the car full throttle post tune? I've had tuned cars in the past so I know this is pretty common especially with forced induction, but wondering if it bothers other people. I'm pretty used to it but every time I get on the car even for a quick highway pull, my wife is always commenting on why does the car smell so much. I was actually getting on it pretty hard merging on-ramp Friday and she said to back off because she didn't want to show up to dinner smelling like burning gas. LOL! At least the speed doesn't bother her!

Couple things:

1) Did you de-cat your exhaust? That makes a big difference
2) Who is your tuner? Often times tuners will enrich the mixture to keep the combustion temps down.

No change in exhaust what so ever

My tuner is Unitronic stage 1+ RS 7

Otherwise car is running strong!
