Is it typical for this to happened after u have installed a brand new exhaust?

Yes, because your exhaust is just being broken in. It should be like that for a week. Also, you might notice the sound difference.

"Good or Bad" is kind of a subjective judgement. It'll sound more full because all the packing cubes and **** will have settled by then, but it may sound inferior to the barnd new sound depending on what you like.

I CONCUR!!

I used to have an N1 style, liked it for the first...week, then finally replaced it with an Apexi WS. .

Also, yes, the smell is normal, I believe it's this coating inside the exhaust that the manufacturer puts inside to prevent rust & other things while it's sitting in the warehouse.
