I installed the HKS Hi-Power today; then went for a sprinted 30min drive, the car sounds great, but the car smells like crap, smells like it has no cat. Is this smell normal? Or is this caused because of an exhaust leak? I checked and made sure everything was tight. How can I know if it is an exhaust leak?

Thanks.

break-in period. although it shouldn't smell like a catless.

Alright cool, I'll give it some time. It stunk!! I don't have the Ti tip on it, since it wasn't in the box but should come soon.

ok I know I just posted above and told you but I'll post again....It's normal just the normal oil and stuff from manufacturring it took about a week for mine to b up....

Check the bottom of your shoes.

make sure u seal the pipes properly.

i just put my fujitsubo on today, it smells HORRIBLE, but yea its from the oil and junk from the machining, hopefully it burns off fast

Yup, break-in period. When we did a full exhaust on my buddies lightning it took a lil
over a week to get rid of that nasty smell...sounded really good tho!

Well smells gone. I guess it was just because it was new.

yeah mine even started smoking once it warmed up, i was like "ohhhhhh sh*t" haha

then i thought about it for a little and realized it could be nothing but burning off all that junk cause its new
