Had an exhaust leak in the downpipe/'A' pipe (pipe connecting exhaust manifold to catalytic converter), and I had an exhaust shop replace it with a Walker Exhaust aftermarket downpipe in my Accord. Ever since then (~550 miles), I've been noticing a burning smell. I thought it might be the manufacturer sticker that wasn't removed (kinda large sticker, maybe 6" x 4") being smoked off by the high temps of an exhaust. But a quick look under the car (as good a look as I could get without jacking up the car and getting underneath) shows the sticker doesn't look like it's burning.
So maybe this is normal when exhaust parts break in? Or the adhesive of the sticker being smoked off (though if this were the case, I'd imagine the sticker itself would get burned up)? Or maybe the gasket goo they put between the flanges (in addition to the actual gaskets I provided)?
