another smelly exhaust

guys when my car runs it smells bad outta the exhaust, like it's burning rich, doesnt matter if it's cold or hot out, it has the q-jet on it, no emissions headers no cat, no codes, what would cause this? i have an a/f gauge and it doesnt read rich?

It shouldn't be getting onto your clothes...unless you have an exhaust leak. Hmmnnn...i see by your first post that you have hedders....so of COURSE you have a leak! I know what you mean...I can only drive my camaro for short distances before the smell gets to me. But, I gotta fix the leak b4 I clean the upholstery.
