Did the pipe come with (paper) stickers affixed?

I agree. Just drive it, and give it time. It'll go away.

Just installed it. Drove it about 100 miles since then.

How long has the by-pass pipe been the car, and how much have you driven the car? Quite possible there is residual oil on the part from manufacturing process that will just need to burn off.

I get a light burning smell from the exhaust now. I like the deeper sound, but am paranoid now that I smell that everytime. I thought a light smell like that was normal..but I never really experianced it until now. Thoughts?
