I just put my tsudo on last night and there is a burning smell when the car us running is it just because the exhaust is new I've never seen a new exhaust do that before though. Also it said it came with a silencer, does that come pre installed?

The smell is the oil off your hands from installing it,it will go away and as for the silencer,you can take it out.

Take the silencer out. I think it sounds better with it removed. My neighbors might not think so though lol.

I was in autotech at the time and used the college shop's pull hammer, came out in one hit. Get a pull hammer from sears, use it in the parling lot, take it back a few minutes later... or ask around to some local shops if they have one and if you can borrow it for a minute...

I cant access my silencer pics because they are on myspace but here is how the exhaust should look without the silencer...
