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.

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!
