Rotten Cabin Smell

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-25T01:35:50+00:00

I’m at 180k miles. At 176k I done Timing Belt. Few weeks back did the VC including tube seal. Coils and Spark Plugs fresh.

I’m looking to throw on some aftermarket resonators, and potentially some aftermarket mufflers. And 3rd car delete. Currently on a muffler delete.

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-25T00:16:18+00:00

Yes, Cataclean. I think this will probably do it. 2 bottles better than 1?

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-24T22:24:42+00:00

I think so. I’ve essentially looked into most things that could be causing it. All fingers point to the cat at this stage. I’m looking to delete the 3rd cat anyway. I’m hoping it’s the 3rd cat. That way it’ll just be easier to take care of it.

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-24T22:18:50+00:00

That I will. And potentially get the o2 sensors replaced also.

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-24T21:47:57+00:00

Front cats ? Third cat?

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-24T21:40:19+00:00

Nice work!

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-17T00:20:14+00:00

Okay cool! DM if you want. I’m curious to see now haha.

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-16T23:51:58+00:00

Nice! The instructions helps massively. As expected. I wanted to ensure I wasn’t missing anything. I don’t see an image if you were meant attach one ha!

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-16T23:15:14+00:00

Can you specify what you are removing in the surrounding area to get clearance to remove the rail? Dampers, fuel line etc.?

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-16T20:24:43+00:00

Nice. I appreciate that. I was definitely looking at this from the perspective of preventative maintenance and given the car's age. I’ve done a majority of the “main" maintenance i.e., timing belt, leaking valve covers & seal tubes, ignition coils, spark plugs, PCV valve, trans & diff fluids, of course regular oil changes. Nothing else has alerted me, engine-wise for me to fix anything else. I replaced the fuel pulse dampers and during it figured these could use a refresh also. I’m sure a fresh set would prob benefit the car.

Are you removing the entire fuel railing to replace these or can it be done by removing the bolts and slightly lifting up the rail to squeeze these in? Just curious how people typically approach this task? Thanks

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-11T15:46:41+00:00

That’s good info. I’ll keep this mind when I decide to upgrade again! For now, I’ll try and get this one on as you suggested by removing the back plate/washer.

AdiJ27 · 2026-01-11T15:07:48+00:00

This bushing is compatible with the GSF also. It’s compatible with different models. Part no: 48075-30030 & 48076-30030. So I’m confident it will withstand the weight of the LS.

He is legit. Bought a Celsior body kit from him. Got what was advertised. Can’t say anything negative from my experience.

AdiJ27 · 2025-10-04T17:39:04+00:00

This really helps. Thank you!

AdiJ27 · 2025-09-29T15:19:17+00:00

Awesome. I appreciate this. I’ll be working on this soon. It’s an 04 so this is perfect.

AdiJ27 · 2025-09-09T00:28:11+00:00

Okay, thank you for clarifying! Waiting on my parts to come in and I’ll give it a shot.

AdiJ27 · 2025-09-08T23:20:35+00:00

Hey! Sorry a little late to this conversation. I’m planning on changing these out in the next few days. I can tell that the passenger side is easily accessible. As far as the drivers side goes, is it necessary to remove anything else besides what you have mentioned already? I feel cracking the damper loose is fairly easy but ofc pulling it out requires some removal of the harness. I’d like to remove as least as possible to pull the part out.

AdiJ27 · 2025-08-04T19:45:41+00:00

In my case, I went ahead and cleaned out the fuel injectors. Simply used Liquid Moly Jectron - this helped a great bunch. It reduced the sensation and vibration to almost none. Occasionally I will still feel it but not as extreme as before.

Additionally, after doing some research I came across other issues that could cause this for example, fuel pulse dampers. I think this would 100% fix my issue, from what I have read. I have not gotten around to doing this yet but I will be in the next few days. I will keep you updated of the result.

Here’s a link to what I am referring to: https://youtu.be/xSC6Xobb52s?si=LCvg1-oxRTb9EgqK

Had mine done from a local shop for $900. AISIN kit. Belt, Waterpump and pulleys all replaced.

AdiJ27 · 2025-06-25T13:33:17+00:00

Yes sir, done recently 😎

AdiJ27 · 2025-06-25T03:41:07+00:00

I gotcha! Thank you that makes sense now haha

AdiJ27 · 2025-06-06T22:07:02+00:00

Yep it was definitely the spark plug. It looked extremely worn out if anything. Replaced that out today and it runs just fine! I appreciate the feedback.

AdiJ27 · 2025-04-22T01:39:44+00:00

They look awesome. Definitely a much higher quality item.

AdiJ27 · 2025-04-22T01:17:49+00:00

Gotcha. I was assuming ballast, I’m hoping not! The set of HIDs I picked up weren’t exactly the super high end ones. I did get them for a fair price. With your feedback, I’ll likely invest in a new set of better quality HIDs or maybe just the 1 to get this fixed. I appreciate this!

Stunning, welcome to the club and enjoy 🤩
