Installed Invidia Gemini CBE last weekend
 

So I installed my Invidia CBE last weekend and as expected I had some smoke and a "burning" smell for some time while it was breaking in. I'm noticing a week later that after some "spirited" driving there was some smoke and a burning smell again. anyone know if this is normal? I never had this happen on my other cars so I'm starting to worry a little.

No CELs btw and car runs fine. :)

Anyone care to offer their thoughts?

I'm also from queens and would love to see and hear the car as im also thinking of doing this setup . Hit me up via email fprete@mac.com .
Based on my experience with new exhausts , that seems perfectly normal for a bit of smell and smoke for about a week. But def not as much as you are saying

E-mailed you. you should come to our meet this Friday night :)

It's not a lot of smoke anymore but there is definitely some smoke and a burning smell.

It is common for this to happen. I know when I first got my Nismo it had that smell & you could see a little bit of smoke from the exhaust. The same goes with a new exhaust, but will go away after you start pulling the miles on it.

I have the Invidia CBE too, I've had it for probably 2 months now? When I really push the car I STILL smell it sometimes :icon17: nothing to worry about :driving: on
