after driving car hard, 'burnt' smell from exhaust

yes, if you pushed it THAT hard. hasn't happened on my RSX, but i used to smell that all the time on my E36 M3

Could just be your car slowly burning itself up....

:dontknow:







or just burning up some carbon build up or something...

are you on stock exhaust? mine did that b4 too but then the custom exhaust i got, the muffler was kinda hitting the bumper so it actually melted some of the bumper while getting the tune on the dyno. smelt like ass lol

Your cars going to blow up.

you need to re-fill your v-tak fluid

Your car is emo

Stock exhaust. I dunno about cars...help me explain. Don't scare me that it's gonna explode. :nervous:

I take my car to the mountains sometimes and afterwards when i'm done doing 80 in 4th gear all the way I can smell some burning coming from my car, not sure if it's the exhaust though. It's normal. My car is stock btw.

Okay its not gonna explode. Dont worry about it though

burnt smell could be something burning lol. but id say hard driving = hot parts burning smell. - joe:weeeeeeeeee:

Probably brake pads if its after coming down the twisties. That or your burning up your clutch. Pretty sure your engine isn't going to burn up... Check your factory temp gauges.

Nope, it’s just coming from the exhaust. The temp gauge is normal. Shouldn’t be the brakes or else I’d smell it everywhere around the car, I guess. Well, it was only after I drove hard that night but now it’s gone. Btw, I’m only A/T so no clutch prb.

Check bumper fluid it might be low....:dontknow:

Or exhaust bearings

No no no you are way off, there isnt enough power the the flux capacitor. get a bunch of old garbage a stick it in your exhaust.

The old banana in the tail pipe trick eh!!!

you guys are funny.

You need a better filter for your intake. All the dust from the air is burning up. Your heater in your house probably does the same thing when you first turn it on after a long time of not using it. You just need to put a cloth sock over your intake. Should catch a lot of the dirt.
