After i installed my pop-charger, high flow cats, borla td i now notice a burning smell when i really beat on the car. It goes away pretty quickly but if i rip through the gears all the way to the redline u can smell it. Anyone else notice this? Something i should worry about?

 

If u just installed everything within the last month, the stuff is just burning in. Its normal.

 

Yea but the exhaust system and cats were used. I did have the shop use all new gaskets though...

 

hey, when i installed my new nismo exhaust, their was a burning smell also. It went away after couple days though. I guess i had to break em in.

 

Is it like burning gas? burning oil? burning coolant? Are you haveing white blue or black smoke in ur exhaust when you give it gas? Wat is ur oil pressure at WOT?

 

Like a burning plastic/rubber smell. My oil pressure is fine, right where it should be, and no different colors of smoke, im a lil confused..

 

lol....the oils from your hands on the exhaust parts, the parts that get very hot...were simply burning the oils off im pretty sure thats the smell you are getting...nothing serious though

did u happen to run over a plastic bag??

 

yea, that burns for a few days

 

Nah no plastic bag. I guess sins4u33 is right, i don't drive my car daily, especially since its now winter so it must just be taking a while for them to burn off.

 

Actually i noticed today my oil pressure was on the line between 60 and 120 exactly under wide open throttle. I think thats normal correct?

 

yeah caught one stuck on my exhaust.. smelled for days
