from where the headers meet the engine smoke came out for a few seconds and it smelled burnt so i turned it off and then back on. Once i turned it back on it didn't smoke, but you could still smell that weird smell... I was wondering if it is normal maybe it's breaking into them??? thanks

 

maybe there was oil on ur hands or somthing got on the headers (sweat/grease/oil)

burnt smells don't go away fast in cars drive around with the windows down...

x2 lol

It's normal for that to happen. Especially touching the header with your hands, using WD40/Liquid Wrench, stuff like that will burn when the car's on and will eventually burn off and you'll be ok

 

yeah i did use wd40

there it IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have fun witht the headers

TTT

 

yeah its normal
same thing happen to me
goes away after awhile

 

what did you use wd40 for? If you say to brake up the rusty nuts that is the wrong application to use wd40 for. WD40 is mainly for like squeeky hinges or something that needs a lubricant. It doesn't eat the rust away from nuts and bolts. Use PB blast, that **** right there will eat the rust off the bolts and make it easier to break the nut from the bolt. Just spray a little bit of PB on the bolt and let it sit for couple minutes and viola. just a little FYI.

 

how come every1 says headers when talking about a honda, its header b/c theres only 1 header

 

ok everyone this thread is over so just let it go..

TTT

 

maybe he's running a dual inline 4... so he's got an inline 8? lol needs headers.

 

Okay header got it. and PB okay

 

yeah PB blaster is good, ive used it before.

 

it still might smell burnt anyways if its new because new exhaust components burn off a coating that is in side the header and exhaust piping. it is normal to smell something burning when installing any exhaust component for the first time! dont sweat man!

 

Dont worry bro... Same thing happened to me when installing dc headers in my 05 dc5... its all good..
