It should smell "hot" but if it smells "paint" or "oil" then you know where to look.

A cat back or pre MAF intake should not cause any issues in my mind.
The smell started with the intake, very subtle, but now with the straight pipes from the DPF it's very very strong.

I am unsure what the PCV outlet is or what it looks like, my intake is the 42DD intake.

There is not paint burnt off on the exhaust, but i will take a picture and post.

I am having trouble identifying what the smell is like, because I am unfamiliar with other smells, is there any way i can compare it to something? is anyone in melbourne able to have a look?
