Yea, it's gonna smell for a little bit i think its about 100 miles or so then it should go away. don't quote me on that thou, but I do recall something about the header break in or something of that sort.

thats EXactly what it is "break-in" i work in a custom exhaust shop and typically ALL new systems do smell for a little bit ..especially with all the diff coatings(ceramic, heat paint ) involved. It will be gone in a coupledays or sooner depending on your driving habits .
