Did anyone notice a slight burning smell kind of like when a new exhaust is installed when they first got there EVO. I have 591 miles now and it is becoming fainter but I still smell it. I do not launch or go past 5k rpms so it is not from ragging on the car. Also I can feel a lot of heat coming from the engine vent on the hood is this normal, the car never runs hot on the temp gauge.

 

all normal.

 

that happend to me when i got my titanium greddy exhust! i was worry but went away so you are good.

 

that's your header heating up, nothing to worry about

 

I noticed it too...it slowly goes away.

 

hahah happened to me...new car smell..burning of the cleaners and such and such...first carbon in the cat...little things like that....dont worry...

 

Yep.. Completely normal, your basically just baking the paint or other impurities off the exhast system..

 

I always "think" I'm smelling something from my car, but I'm pretty sure it's in my head. Heat from the engine vent is def normal.

 

I think a lot of the smell comes from that undercoat crap they spray on. There was some on my exhaust that burned off for months. I still get that smell after a particularly spirited drive.

 

happened to me also all normal

 

Did you check your muffler bearings?

 

^^^ LOL!

Its normal, its the chemicals burning away ...

 

that's the smell of performance, congrats on the new Evo!

 

Could be the paper the the warranty was written on.

 

Hahaha
