Default Installed HFP exhaust on an EX Civic

Sounds pretty damn nice, but the smell, it smells like something's burning. Is this normal? Like it's just breaking in?
Thanks. And yes it fits. You just need the SI gasket to install this on the other Civic models.

Might have an exhaust leak entering your cabin.

I recently installed the sport muffler on my EX as well. I noticed the same smell. It will fade away in about a week. No worries.

Its fine it happens all the time with new exhausts mufflers etc. Same thing happened with my A'PEXi and my brothers Skunk2. Once she breaks it'll be fine.

Cool, I was hoping there was no leak because I made sure there was no leak!
It's fading away after 2 days. It's a fairly simple install. It was just a little PITA when I was trying to get both screws with the little springs on the flange to go through because it would keep hitting the exhaust and not bolt on all the way.

THANKS!
