New headers, burning maybe?

I just installed new BBK unequals (ceramic coated) two days ago, and after I've been driving like a mad man for a couple minutes I can smell what I think are the headers because it is a new smell to me... Is this normal for the headers to be "settling in" or something like that? Kinda worried...

If its jet hot coated, it shouldnt burn off, but otherwise it does to an extent.
