Default Mac O/R Prochamber

I recently put the Mac O/R Prochamber on my 04 GT Convertible. I notice a strong smell when just idling now. Is this common and if it is what can you do to fix it?

May just be a breaking in process, I know when I had my mufflers replaced, I noticed a strong smell for the first week or so at certain times... But then it went away. Smelt like gas/oil ... I cant explain it, smelt like "pipe juice" lol if that makes sense. But I could tell it was nothing serious.

However I dont have any experience with the Prochamber, but many people on here have, someone will let you know.

I had one and smelled the same thing. They are painted so it may just be the paint curring. It should go away once the paint is curred. I have a Mac catted H now and it never smelled though now that I think of it. I took off the Prochamber and Mac cat-back I had because it was too loud for me. Way too loud.

Yep, thats the smell of RAW exhaust not filtered by the cats. Its normal with offroad pipes and there is nothin you can do about it accept hang those little smelly trees on your tail pipes....

I have the MAC catted H also. When it was installed it smelled like the car was on fire. Lasted about a week but got better the more I drove the car. It is the paint on the pipe that makes the smell and is nothing to worry about.
