good mods wrong set up...you need more air coming in, thats why smells rich you are not getting a smooth spray coming out of your injectors,your cat back...sometimes bigger is not better..just the right set up is needed.

Shouldn't have any problem with that size of piping, I'm running 2.5" and no problem at all. Check your TPS and idle screws
