Do your headers smell funny?
Seems like the ceramic coating smells for about a year until broken in. Not a bad smell, just one that shouldn't be there. :skep:

Mine still smell new, like carboard. Probably because they're still sitting on the shelf at Jegs because I haven't purchased them yet :eek:
Ok, so I'm a dork! :conehead

They didn't, but since you've asked they've started smelling of burnt nasal flesh :lol:
I run my engine up for about 90mins 2 nights ago with new Dynomax Headers on it & can't say I noticed any smell.

Plastic bag, eheh, Thats how mine was too. it's annoying how they can get attached to them and just melt, Harden, Melt again, it just never ends!!! well I took mine off and have been working on new once since.

Re: Do your headers smell funny? (Budman78)
I think mine sound better and look better than they smell. I suppose they might feel hot at times, thou I try to avoid that. :eek:
