Stinky Exhaust?

I just installed my Magnaflow Exhuast, and the the fumes coming out the end don't smell so good. I am not sure if this is just the packing grease buring off, of prehaps something more sinister.... Any input would be greatly appreciated.

More than likely it is just packing grease burning off. Prior to my Tundra I had an '83 GMC that I had duel exhaust put on with twin glass packs and It smelled like somthing was burning for about a week until all of it was burned off.

The first few days are the worst. In 2 weeks you won't hardly notice it anymore.

thats true...it will take couple of days for the packing grease to burn off....
like for my Jba Headers after I installed them it had a different smell but about 2 weeks it went away....
