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.

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:
