Hi all,
Like the title says I put a new ncy exhaust on my buddy 170i. I have ridden it for about 6 miles and there is a strong burning smell. Is this the gasket burning???? Any thoughts on how I could diagnose this?
Thanks!!!

All exhaust systems have a smell when new and heated up for the first time. Don't worry about it, it'll go away after a few miles.

Its just that "New Exhaust" smell. Enjoy it while it lasts.
