HELP!: Weird Smell from Comptech Exhaust. (Bumper Burning?)
Well I just got my comptech exhaust installed aoout an hour ago. Well on the way back to work I smell something strange.. almost like radiator fluid burning but that is not the case. Then engine bay smells normal.
When I stop the smell lingers in the windows. Could it be burning my bumper? I think that may be the issue... and if so how to I prevent that?
Does anybody else have this problem or experienced this. All information is much much appreciated! The install is going to be documented on my website but I would like to figure this out (and fix it) so I can help other ppl as well!

Anytime you put on any new exhaust piece you will smell the oil and crap burning off the pipe.. It's normal and will go away within a hundred miles or so.
