Hello everyone

about a month ago i noticed that i could smell what i thought was burning oil. before i could smell fumes from my ART Pipes but now that smell has been overcome with oil smell instead. i probably have about 450 miles on the ART pipes now so im not sure if that would be consider broken in or not and im just now smelling the exhaust instead of dirt and machining oil. I was running Mobil 1 synthetic but i decided to switch to royal purple instead and the smell also started shortly after i switched. Just to throw it out there its a 2011 Nismo with around 42k miles on the clock.

Suggestions or ideas?
