Hey yall i put on an catback exhaust today and a new catco cat. ell i did this while i was at work when i was coming home tonight there was a really nasty burning smell coming out of the exhaust
what could this be is it the cat and exhaust just breaking in or what. thanks in advance

 

it could be the coating on the pipes that protects them from rusting or it could be the stuff inside of the cat getting hot for the first time... i bought a new cat and cat back system from obx for my integra and that thing stunk for a week... but then stopped... i was inside the car and could only smell it when i got out... so i did not worry bout it...

 

OK I FIGURED THAT WAS IT BUT JUST WANTED TO BE SURE

 

yeah, mine stunk real bad at first. if i was to get out and stand behind the car...it like knock you out it stunk so bad. now its gone.

 

so doing nasty skanks in the back seat.. that will take car of that.

Or wash your upper lip..


Yeah.. new cats stink like shiat.
The fiber glass has to get all burn in..

 

if it is a good cat it wont be fiberglass... it will be ceramic or steelwool... fiberglass is for mufflers...

 

THE CATS A CATCO

 

please dont type in all caps

 

pzowned!

 

Maybe, if you would lay-off the tacos the smell would go away.

 

sounds like you know a lot about this smell 13ooher... must be an intermittent problem of yours
