I just got the TBE install yesterday. I know that the testpipe will have the unburnt fuel smell. but i also smell rubber/plastic burning. Is it the exhaust breaking in?

 

Check under your rear passenger side seat. There was a thread a while back about some melting issue after tbe and heavy passengers in back. Its probably nothing, but better to be safe than sorry.

 

i think that was just a 1 car issue, i havent read anything about anyone else having this issue

 

car is going back on the lift tomorrow and will take a look underneath to see whats up. Never ending problem with this car.

 

New gaskets heating up?

 

its normal. Its just the new exhaust smell. It will go away in a few days. I believe its a solution they use where they made the exhaust to clean it and its burn it off. I wouldnt worry about it. This has happend to 2 cars i put exhaust on.
