New cat, new smell
Yeah i hope so, that is honestly what i have heard from many people, but to be safe you could try calling up the place where you got it from and ask them if it'* normal. Cause if it'* a high flow cat you probably paid decent coin for it so you don't want it to be faulty. I would say im about 98% sure that it'* because it'* new though.
That smell is the new chemicals mixing inside the cat (not completely active). They do not completely filter the exhaust gasses until you have driven the car for quite a while. I believe the break in is close to 1000 miles, but I have heard different opinions.
