Default Wrapped the midpipes ...

Have an STS in the car so I wrapped and coated the midpipes with exhaust wrap and sprayed it with silicone spray that came in the kit. Just making sure, did most people's smoke up after driving around initially with it and have a sort of barbeque type smell to it? Freaked out when I saw smoke pouring out from under the hood and popped it thinking something caught fire, but all is well ... I'm guessing it's just some of the silicone spray burning off or whatnot?

Thanks.

Yep...that's what it is, and the fiberglass cooking.

I need to start burning this stuff more often ... call me insane but I find the smell quite appetizing, LOL.

As stated its just the wrap and silicone cooking off. The smell isn't that bad but the smoke can get the heart racing a little bit till you realize what it is. In my experience the sprayed wrap smokes a bit more than the bare wrap so don't be shocked if it smokes some on the next couple of start ups.
