a plastic bag could also have gotten stuck on ur exhaust piping as you were driving and unless you take all of it off you will be smelling the "burning smell" for a long ass time

I just installed a T1R yesterday and it's stinking and smoking. We'll see how long that continues.

I never would have thought of that... Coincidentaly, this was used on CSI Miami last night - a fingerprint was burned into a shell casing once it was fired. In reality the gun barrel would likely destroy any readable print, but hey - it was interesting. The higher the sodium content in your diet, the more distinctive the print (per CSI Miami techs lol).

are you sure you weren't watching law and order: SVU? because that's exactly what they were talking about on the episode yesterday.
