Installed mine yesterday and it looks and sounds perfect IMO. Hope it can get louder as I pump more miles in it.

So, today I turned off my car engine and opened my trunk. Smells somthing bad. Noticed a smoke coming out from the right exhaust tip, only the right, none from the left tip of the Tanabe. The smoke has weird smell, it's like a burning smell. I am afraid something not right is burning inside the muffler. The smoke lasted for 3-5 minutes, then it's completely gone.

Is this normal? Any advice?

 

It's normal, just oil for shipping. It will be there for a few more drives, it will just be burned off.

 

yup normal.. will go away soon..

 

Alright..will see if it goes away in a few days time.

Thanks for your inputs

 

completely normal, it smelled up my garage the first few days but after some hard runs the smell and smoke are starting to fade away..

 

More like grease & oils from manufacturing process...

Its baking together with the "new" metals.

 

now I dont see the smoke anymore, no more weird smell too.
