2013 5.0 Exhaust smell
Good day to all.
I have a 2013 5.0 GT with the Race pack and I have noticed that when I start the car it has a very unique smell to the exhaust. The closest thing that I can think of for the smell is the smell you get when you run without CATs.
The car is stock and I use Shell Gold for my fuel.
I guess that my real question is whether others have noticed this with the newer 5.0s, or do I have something unique happing here. Yes, I am not the only one that can smell it.

I have made a long run with the car to run the fuel to under 1//4 of a tank, and filled up with Esso. I will see how it goes.

I have swapped over to Esso. And the smell is not there now.
So what I was smelling may have been the fuel.
Thanks for the ideas.
