I just recently put a stainless steel header on my Civic DX. Well it runs fine, throws a check engine light, but still. I noticed though that my car after running for about 30 minutes, i can smell what smells like burning oil. I highly doubt this is normal, so do you guys know anything about this? or what i should do?

Thanx guys

look at the color of your exhaust gas..

Its an OBX stainless steel header (4-2-1). would that make any difference. i only notice the smell after i get on it and then stop at a light or park. could that be a cause

how much did you pay for it? where did you get it? Notice any gains?

i think its the smell of the pipe getting broken in my whole exaust smelled weird for a week when i got it custom made wait a week and if it doesnt go away i would worry about it

Ps: mine didnt exacly smell like oil just like something weird

175 with shipping off of ebay. Usual gains for a header on a civic. It feels like it pulls a lil harder in 3rd though. (maybe just in my head).

Ok i dont think the wierd smell is oil anymore, started sniffin the air more. <----dork. but i guess i'll just deal with it until sumthing cums up

Did you have to relocate your O2 sensor wires much? See if maybe they are brushing up on something hot?
