Hey guys. After I installed my vibrant s-pipe back exhaust my engine bay always smells. I reused the gasket at the s-pipe. Is the smell because of a possible exhaust leak somewhere? Thanks.

How long has the exhaust been on the car?

It is normal for an exhaust to smell for a few heat cycles

It smells like 'smog' - sorry thats the best way I could describe it. I highly doubt its related to anything else because it happened as soon as I put the exhaust on.
