I had magnaflow exhaust put on my truck today.... I can smell the catylac converter pretty strong.... Is there a way to get rid of that smell? Will it ever just "GO away"....


Btw, the magnaflows just dump they dont go out the back....

Im just guessing its the converter.....Maybe its just new exhaust/welds....

it will go away... you'll get the same thing with new headers. just give it some time to go thru it's heat cycles, then it wont smell anymore.

 

if it smells like rotten eggs.....it'll go away. its just your cat.

after putting on headers and a magnaflow cat at the same time... it took a week for that smell to go away... it was horendus

 

my headers took almost a month.

 

couldnt imagin a month of the stench!

 

It doesnt really bother me too much, I can smell it on the drivers side when I get out after driving around.... May repel the ladies a bit though :-p ...Although I have one sexy dodge!
