TRD...smoke normal?
 
Didn't know if to post this in issues or in here..but just had my TRD exhaust put on (have had the CAI for a while) by the dealer I work at. I drove a bit more spirited than I normally do, but my engine is at 1300miles..so figured it's broken in.

When I drive and even at stop lights, I have white some and a burning smell. I've had it on less than 20 miles. Is this normal? Is there a break in period for this as well?

All exhausts will emit a type of white smoke while burning off the initial protective layer that's inside the exhaust. Completely normal. Will last about 1/2 days depending how much you drive.

It is only manufacturing oils that is being burnt off. There may even be a little plastic somewhere.
