just installed megan o2 housing then i took it for a ride came back opened the hood and it started smelling and little smoke started coming out anyone have this problem before?

 

probably just the coating burning. it should be fine

 

Did you use anti seize? Could be that, or just contaminates burning off, or exhaust leak.

 

the oil from your hands buring off?

 

Probably just grease from your hands and anything that was on the outside. It will burn off for a while after install when the exhaust gets hot. You could have an exhaust leak, but doubtful as you can normally hear those. Don't worry about it too much, if it is still smoking tomorrow, then worry about it.

 

Yea any new exhaust piece will smoke/smell like that right after putting it on. Just the oils and such burning off. No worries

 

the only thing that worries me is that the donut gasket isnt in all the way you can still see a lil bit and plus one of the holes dont have a screw since i broke the bolt in there

 

I remember when i had the stock turbo you could kind of see the gasket, you should probably get a new bolt though...

 

yeah i tried and the bolt would jsut break off so i just stuck a bolt in there and a washer n such holding it but not tight since it would break. my car wouldnt blow up or anything right? just worried cause i dont want my baby to die on me lol

 

when i put on my megan turbo back exhaust it stunk for a couple of weeks i also used anit seize.

 

just listen for a leak while its running

 

imma go to a exhaust shop tom and see if everythings running ok.. even thought if its leaking my car wouldnt blow up right ?

 

An exhaust leak is like a propane leak, you need to be careful, it could totally reignite.














Yeah, I'm just kidding. You're fine, a little exhaust won't blow anything up.

 

whoa got me scared until i scrolled down lol.. but even though all the bolts that connect to the o2 housing to the hotside is not that tight but have a new gasket it should be tight enough right? cause i didnt use a torque wrench since it wouldnt fit but i tightened it tight as i could..

 

its most likely just oil and grease from the O2 burning off
