Ok so I installed the new OEM style megan exhaust in about an hour and a half, I was personally suprised how quick I did it since it was the first time I've even put an exhaust on.

Now I know that the new exhaust will smoke for a few days, so is it normal to stink inside the car my windows were open but I smelt it while moving 60+. How do I know I have a leak, will it sound really bad?

Thanks,

Adam

 

check if any of the connections are dripping water. if u have a leak it would sound like a spraying sound

 

ok well there are no real noticible noise so I guess its ok, but is the smell ok?

 

yea, the smell is normal

 

get under the car.. and get a friends to give it some gas.. and you will see the exhaust get all black on the piping.. it's easy.. commen sense. i'll send you .02 if you need some.

 

The smell is normal.. AFter you installed it, did you let the car idle for a few minutes? That's what i did.. The smell did come up, but after a while, it went away. Give it a couple of hours.. If its been days and it's still there, tighten all the bolts...

 

I noticed some water after I drove around the second time... does that mean I'm leaking somewhere?

To clarify, it appeared to be dripping from various areas around the plastic underbody shield below the motor... did't see any spraying from any of the joints.
