yup very normal...
all our cars run rich... thus the black soot on our exhausts
plus you have to break in your exhaust. you dont have to drive ne differently, but just burn off those chemicals and what not in the exhaust. (that nasty smell you get)

enjoy your new exhaust :D

oh and about ur poor gasmileage...
i dont remember getting that much poorer gas mileage, but it may be because your revving it a lil bit higher now since u have the exhaust haha
