Theres a weird smell I really cant tell what it is, it doesnt smell like something burnt or fuel but it happened after installing bunch of stuff, I did all these mods at a time:
- Borla exhaust
- Monster Tach
- Lean/Rich gauge
- MAF kit nitrous (not used yet but solenoids installed and all wires)
- New Oil wich was the purple brand one

And after that it started, anybody has an idea of what it could be?

i would say theres a very good possibility that you hooked up your Lean/rich gauge to the wrong wire.

well if you only replaced the muffler you might not smell anything,but cat-back u probably would..a new metal smell/stink...94 octane has nothing to do with it.....do you throw any dodes..ses light??

The gauge works fine, what I did is I tried 2 pins wich was 65 and worked not very accurate, then changed to pin 69 and worked fine, think maybe something about that will mess the PCM? should I reset it?

Do you still have cats? They could have gone bad. Either that or 02s, but it's probably not that if you're not getting a code yet.

relax, it's just your catback. headers, for example, smoke like crazy when you install them. your new catback just came in contact with 500 degree exhaust gases. you smell the metal being 'heat treated' if you will. it'll be gone in 500 miles.

I have also heard people say royal purple smells really wierd, but i have it and it doesnt smell different to me.

Hope you figure it out.

My Magnaflow smelled a little different the first few hundred miles. I think they have put some sort of coating/oil on the SS before they ship out the system.

Let it burn off, then see if the smell persists.
