Re: Soft Top + Exhaust question.
Hi Joe,
I think it's easy to smell the catalytic converter even with the
gasoline additives meant to cover that rotten egg smell, if you do while
cruising around with only the rear rolled up then put a little extension
on the tail pipe to redirect it straight out the corner as pictured:

Re: Soft Top + Exhaust question.
I've heard the same about not driving without a front window open at least
when the back window is zipped up... I've driven around with the back open
and windows up, but the air vents were turned on and at full blast so I
could have fresh air, just make sure the dial is set for the fresh air and
not recirculated air.

Re: Soft Top + Exhaust question.
It is sneaky and deadly!
I have experience in a TJ getting gassed out to the point of passing
out!
A friend has a TJ and we went camping with me riding shotgun. He likes
to drive with just the top on and all the 3 back windows out with hard
doors.
His GF and he both warned me he is a terrible highway driver because he
always falls asleep in the Jeep and he was complaining he couldn't
control it. He is also fairly young and inexperienced, so I chalk it up
to that.
So we are about a half hour out on the highway and sure enough he is
nodding off. We pull over and I take over. He is asleep within minutes
and I start to feel bad. Pressure in my forehead and my eyes start
closing 'bad' so I open the window and crank up the heater blower and
viola come 'instantly' back awake and figure out what is up.
So I try to wake him to get him to roll down his window too. I can't!
I have to pull over and physically open the door to get him air!
The rest of the trip was done with all the windows down! We tried it
with just the heater on full blast with the front windows rolled up and
that did 'not' work. The forehead pressure came back for me pretty fast
and he was nodding out again fast.
So basically if you have any of the back windows open or even all 3 out
like we did, the front windows must be open too.
