Help with clutch smell

Hey all. I've searched the forums and I haven't found a case quite like mine. So I have about 28k miles on my vehicle. My mods are just exhaust, intake, and a tune. My car drives fine, launches fine, etc. The only problem is at WOT I get a smell like my clutch is burning. At first I thought I had overfilled my oil but I checked and the motor oil is at the correct level. Any ideas?

Its probably because you launched the car and youre smelling the clutch through the gears.

lol... umm... actually this is an everyday thing. Even if I'm just driving around down and decide to speed up a little bit, I get the horrible smell.

It also didn't really start until I got my exhaust and a tune.

maybe your clutch is not adjusted properly and is not fully engaged when the pedal is up and is wearing out

only thing that makes sense to me is to adjust the clutch pedal and see if it continues to happen

So you're saying I'm frying my catalytic converter? My exhaust gas temperature gauge reads 1100-1300 F driving normally and between 1400-1500 F when I push it. Is this too high for the cat? It's not really an egg-like smell though. It definitely smells like burning clutch.
