Catalytic Converter Break in? I just got my camaro back after both cats were replaced by the dealer under warranty. It says on the bottom of the slip, recommended break in period of 500 miles. What do you do to break in Cats? and is it normal for them to smell like burning dust when you first drive it?
Thank you for your help

anyone can correct me if i'm wrong, but the break in is how long you should wait to do any kind of hard driving. i've never actually heard of breaking in cats, that's just my assumption.
as far as the burning smell, you'll almost always have a slight burning smell after new exhaust parts are installed. it doesn't last very long and should disappear before you know it.
