smellyyyyy~~~~~~

hi everybodyy.... I have a 97 del sol and I just have my cat back on yesterday... feeling great.. but there's one problem annoying me... everytime when i finished driving... there is a smell like sth burning....
i still drive like how i used to, didn't really rev much... but the smell is kind of strong... i am just wondering is that normal??

whats it smell like?? rotten eggs? oil? paint?? please be more specific.

it's like burning something... hmmm.. how to say.. not really like burning rubber.. but yeaaa... a bit like tat..

nothing fell onto the exhaust did it?

hmmm... i don't think so......
Would it be there's something not clear or... i don't know... coz.. it just put on yesterday....

was there any oils on it when you installed it?

hmmm... dun think so...

its not smoking is it?

its not smoking is it?

nooo.. no smoke... everything look rite... jsut got the smell

where do you go to get your gas? sometimes cheap gas can make all sorts of smells, and with a free flowing exhaust, it may amplify it.

i use shell premium.... i am in australia by the way...
it's 95 octane

ok, you stumped me, i have no clue.

is the exhaust bare metal or painted? if it is painted it is probably just the paint burning off.

hmmm... no... it's a itianium exhast... no paint on it...
and i think i know how to describe that smell now... i don't know if you guys have played firework b4... if you do... it's just like the smell after playing firework...

I got a weird smell after getting exhaust put on, kinda like paint..still makes the smell and it's been months since i had the exhaust put on..

could be a bad cat converter. When those start to go out they smell funky.
