Exhaust odor

I'm curious why my buddy's 2006 CTD exhaust smells different from my 98.5 24v.His kind of reminds me of a propane burning motor.Hope this isn't a stupid question. Thanks in advanced

It's that stupid catalytic converter. Gives it that sweet smell. At least mine does.

the cat and the pilot injection... the old 12v 2nd gens had a bit of a propane forklift aroma to them too, but not too many of them have cats anymore, so nobody remembers how they smelled when they did
