Burning Smell, New Exhaust

[ReflexGTI1]

Since install of new turbo back, I'm getting a burning smell from under the hood once I stop and get out of my vehicle. I've checked for clearance issues/anything touching the downpipe and it's perfectly clear.

Is this common on a new downpipe for the first little while as it "cures" so to speak from the high temps?

Thanks!

Oils burning off.

It's normal....and will go away.

Every aftermarket exhaust and/or muffler I have bought had a slight "oily" coating on the inside (and outside)

Great smell, make the most of it as it doesn't last long.

Once a week spray cooking oil on the down pipe.
For that French fry smell.
