Default A issue after I installed the cat back..

well, I just got my HKS knock off cat back installed, it sounds awesome, looks awesome, but....after some serious driving and I pulled over my Z, I can smell something like burned plastic comming from underneath...I checked the rear bumper, they're in good condition so it must be something else underneath burned by the exhaust pipe, is that normal???

Normal. Like Black350 said, it shouldn't last more than a week.

Like said above, new exhaust has a smell to it. I miss it personally!

The only thing that would cause a smell besides being new would be if some packing peanuts got left in the piping or something.
