I'm guessing you have a leak...

What does this mean? "i be recently drive open exsuhst for like a month " Do you mean wide open throttle?

open exhaust would mean a short pipe or similar, no cats or muffler.

you either have a leak or you are running super rich. Do you have a CEL at all?

Thanks. I guess it was the " lots of ppl do that most of the time" that threw me.

I agree I think you have a leak too man get that fixed ASAP

you can have them do the donut replacement thingy, covered by warranty up to 80,000 miles. When I did that, they also told me using gas with high levels of sulfur could cause bad smell.
