Weird Smell...

[jbritt1234]

Ok, there is a weird smell comming from my car. It smells similar to burnt rubber or plastic. Reminds me of the days when I was torching my GIJOE men...

It seems to be comming from the back of the car and I've been smelling it for a few days now. Any body have any ideas? It's possibe I just got something on the exhaust etc and it's smelling I guess, but it's starting to worry me. It's a fairly strong odor, I can smell it when I'm sitting in the car stuck on Interstate traffic.

I looked under it as well as I could without jacking it up.

I just wanted to ask if anybody had any clue if a particular fluid or other part had this smell when screwing up.

Thanks!

My magnaflow catback has melted a good half inch into each side of my gas tank is everything adjusted right on your exhaust? I'd probly jack er up one of these days and take a look just to be safe. But hopefully someone knows something that I dont.

Wow! That's a little scarey...

I believe it is, it's been on there over a year now. But you can be damn sure i'm going to look now!!!

this happened tome last week. There was a burnt plastic smell coming from my car and I got really scared, but it turned out to be a damn plastic bag that got caught and melted onto bottom of my exhaust.

Good luck with that, I wouldn't be too worried though, cuz my problem has been with me since day one, the stupid things keep coming loose. But I am switching out the bolts when I put in the headers this weekend. It has been a slow process and hasn't changed since the first week, kinda carved a grove and then sat still ...

Chek the rear end seal too. Mine was leaking fluid all over the place and it was getting sprayed onto the exhaust.. I couldn't figure out where that smell was coming from until I looked under there and saw fluid sprayed everywhere.

Bullit - You gained only 11 rwhp from full exhaust, T/A, U/D pulleys, and all that?

Yep, that's what the dyno told me (that is before Driveshaft and T/A so there might be more there). I think my car is in desperate need of a tune..

I was pissed when I got the dyno sheets back, but was very happy when I took her to the track, so I could give a crap about the dyno's now..

probably casue he has shorty headers, longtubes give the big gains

are your exhaust tips adjusted correctly? mine melted some of the plastic on the back bumper before, you cant let them touch any plastic
