The exhaust smell will definately go away soon. Its just burning off the gooey stuff that comes on the pipe when you buy it.

I dont know what the idling problem is though. Maybe it just sounds so different and your not used to it.

The cats should quiet it down a little. I remember once I listened to an older 5.0 that went from offroad pipe to high flow and it actually sounded a bit louder. Others agreed that it was a little louder so I guess it just depends what brand of cats you get.

hmm, I dunno about your exhaust setup but I've had mine on since April and I still get that exhaust smell, it doesn't bother me though because it's really not that bad. As far as the raspiness goes.. the Steeda cat-back gives it a different tone out the *** so it's all good. I can go to the track and several people will comment on my exhaust sound, usually I hear my burnouts sound the best than any other car up there /shrug
