ASPEC B Pipe Installed - Burning Smell?

Did anyone notice a burning smell after installing their B Pipes?

Its the oils from your hands burning away, and the metals breaking it.
Similar smells when driving a new car for the first time.

I would put the smell closer to a burning marshmallow?

Smells like burning rubber sort of. Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow.

It's normal, it should be gone after a week or so. I also had this smell when I installed my T1R b-pipe.

if it smells like burning rubber, just make sure something isn't touching the pipe and burning. i thought it smelled more like burning marshmallows or sugar actually. if it smells like burning rubber i'd check to make sure nothing is really burning. otherwise, it's normal for a new exhaust.

Nothing touching as far as I can see. The smell is starting to go away. Just scared me for a minute.

It is normal. Most exhaust (especially stainless steel) come with oils on them and in them to protect them. I will burn off eventfully. Most of the time you will see white smoke for the first couple hours.
