Smells like my car is burning oil after my catless DP install. Is this normal? Car has just over 67k on it.

 

Is the downpipe new?

You will get that smell. It's just residue matter inside the downpipe.

It will go away.

 

Yup my new dp smelled for awhile too

 

DP isn't new, it was used but it's freshly installed. I got the same smell when my flex pipe blew open.

 

probbaly because its catless, it just smells a little different

 

Well, it's deff an oily smell. lol

 

idk lol maybe it will go away bro

 

Oh ****. Good point. Just noticed he said catless.

Yeah, when I was catless there was a smell. I called it the classic car smell.

My exhaust smelled just like my father's 65 GTO's exhaust.

 

That, plus any gasket glue or any sort of WD 40 (if you used it) liquids burning off.

PS my roommate's car got a plastic bag stuck on his exhaust somehow and it smelled like hell for near a month

 

Is ur car also smoking now? , Ionninja or something like that, just installed a zzp 2.5 catless downpipe and now his car is also smoking

 

THIS happened to me... it was a big plastic bag and its been months and still smells like burnt plastic lolololol

 

get use to it 4cycle engines burn a small amount of oil the cat helps hide the smell if you think thats bad run a set of gapless rings in a ecotec

 

It smokes a little, I only notice it while standing still and opening the door to look back, I see a small faint cloud of black smoke. But other than that, YES the classic car smell is there while idleing, but I smell burning oil sometimes as I'm backing up.

 

black smoke means your running rich, blue smoke means your turbo has some oil blow by or piston rings and or ring landings are shot, most likely turbo blow by

 

Better check my turbo then. OMG, THANKS!!!!!!
