I just installed a megan drift spec cat back and when i rev smoke comes out, and also everytime i finish driving my car theres a smell comming from the exhaust that kind of smells like something is burning but not really....it may sound funny but it kind of smells like pancakes or sugar being burned.

does anyone knoww what the problem might be?

 

Its brand new and has to burn off the manufacturing stuff. Its normal. Just o drive it REAL hard once or twice and that should do the trick.

 

My car did the same thing when I first put my cat back, it smelled pretty bad. But then went away within few hours of driving, I guess they were the new components being burn in. i dont know about the smoke thing.

 

hmmm maybe the guy that welded the exhaust together dropped a lollipop in there? haha

more serious note, the only thing you installed was the cat back exhaust correct? if so its just normal burn off it sounds like

 

it will go away after a while

 

thanks for the feedback guys, hopefully its becuase its brand new but if it continues i should be worried right?

 

Relax Rob it'll go away. Trust me! Every single car I've ever built the exhaust smells like **** for a day or untill I beat the hell out of it. The smell will go away, don't worry man.

 

nah its fine. when i put my GMPP exhaust on it did that for a few weeks(didn't drive it much)

 

thanks guys for your helpp, ill just drive it moree and see if it goes awayy lol

 

I put my GMPP exhaust on.. and found out some of that expanding foam had snuck into the pipe.. it smoked and smelled AWFUL..

 

Same when i got my pacesetter exhuast install it goes away after a while of driving

 

may take a few hundred miles of driving, depending on your style. long trips where the pipes are staying hot will make it go away quicker than lots of short trips where the exhaust is only hot for a few minutes.
