Default wierd smell after converting my lx to ex?

Hi guys.....I finally converted my lx to ex on this saturday......but after I drove 15 minutes when I got out of the car I smell something funny....I got new aftermarket header and magnaflow cat and sjunk2 cat back....is it something wront with the new cat converter or that is just common for new cat converter?
and although all the stuff should be bolted on perfectly I still heard somhting like some iron chips hitting the cat converter.....dont know what to do?
anyone had this kind of experience before?
Thanks
