Mine leaks at the wastegate shaft too.

Are you running with re-circulation on?

Mine has been deleted and stinks bad when the AC isn't on and when re-circulation isn't running... also take a look at your engine partitions. If those are broken from age, replace them to keep water out and also, for me, it helped create a better seal and I don't get too much stink inside the cabin anymore.

Recirculaton helps thats the only solution. I think I am also missing a heat shield as I see some parts of the shield with holes where possibly a shield attached.

looking at realoem but I can't seem to figure it out. I am refering to the brake line heat shield it might help.

frankly looking at the entire engine there is oil in a lot of different places that could cause the stink as well. I don't think it's particular to this car. I think it comes with diesel cars.

Yeah - your not special in this case!

I've been trying to "fix" the smell since it was delete (and even before) - time to just get use to it. I don't mind it much, mostly everyone else that is around.

good to know i shant spend any more time on this then.

I did learn.. not to reverse into my own smoke cloud esp in the mornings plus side

the greatest benefit is being able to somoke out tail gaters with a swift press of the accelerator

Have you had any further fitment issues with the Buzzken stuff? I was planning on going that route, but it sounds like the fit and finish is lacking a bit from what you posted earlier.

No issues, I think i just wasted time trying to make it work with the included clamp and sleeve. They are only good to drive the car to a muffler shop and get it properly welded.

It's still a solid choice, I mean the other options look prettier and maybe they come with better clamps but honestly how often does one get under the car to remove the muffler?. and ultimately nothing is going to beat welding it in place for noise dampening and smell reduction. so yes the fit and finish are not show room quality but the other choices seemed so much more expensive.

they actually ended up welding in an overlapping pipe about 6 inches long in the rear going to the muffler secured by a much stronger u bolt clamp. all that for 100 bucks. I should disclose i drove to the ghetto to get it done so it might be difficult to get it done for that price.

So you now have the Buzzken mid pipe welded to the factory muffler. Do you still have a removable connection between the mid pipe and the "delete pipe"?

I think I would add a flex coupling in the mid pipe towards the front. I have my own little welder. My biggest issue would be raising the vehicle high enough to work on in my back yard.
