Is it normal to have a funny smell after exhaust? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Installed LT's with HF cats and magnaflow catback.

Been 3 Hot/Cold cycles and about 25 miles of driving, still getting a funny burning smell out of the exhaust pipes but A LOT less smoke.

Normal?

Yup...all the crap on the metal they put on it during shipping has to burn off.

Yea, mine did the same thing. Goes away with time.

What kind of funny is it? Did you stuff a clown in the intake? If there's a clown stuck in there, it might prevent some of the smoke from coming out, causing part of the problem. It also might smell funny.

Yeah, expect strange smells for a few days, maybe a week.

Yes may be longer if you dont drive it a lot.
