ok after I put on my bbk long tube ceramic coater headers, x-pipe with hi-flo cats and flowmaster cat back, when my car heats up it has a smell of rotten eggs or natural gas, the only thing I can figure is the ceramic coating when it gets hot, I checked everywhere looking for anything on my pipes and they are clean. anyone else had this problem or know where the smell is comming from?

When I put my LT's, o/r h, and flowmasters on I noticed a very distinct smell from my exhaust... Just something you gotta learn how to live with but it shouldnt be as bad because you still have cats on your car.

My exhaust had a bad smell when I first put it on. I was real fun at stop lights, . It eventually stopped after a few days though.

Mine was around for a couple of weeks after I did the LT's,O/R, and Flowmasters. It finally went away.
