My HKS doesn't smell too great either. I think that may be due to my test pipes though ;-)

You can sell the Z if the smell is bothering you.

Perfectly normal. Your exhaust will stink and you'll get a fine white smoke coming out of it the first hundred or so miles while it's being burned in. After that, you should be fine...unless you plan on running test pipes and that refreshing smell stays with you
