i just got my aem intake installed on my tls yesterday and its realy awsome i love it. My problem is that after driving a little it produces hot air and smells bad, is this a problem or is it just breaking in or something.

Also is it bad to push the car hard the day of and after the install??

 

Does it smell like rotten eggs, and were ur driving in really high rpms, flooring it. This is normal, its just ur cats.

 

yea i was flooring it testing it out lol, so its fine ? will it always be giving off lots of heat and the smell, or just at the begining?

 

driving hard involves using your brakes no? might just be your brakes lol

 

Sounds like a sulfur build-up in your cats, I have the same issue.

 

what do i do? i mean it could be my brakes i really dont know. Is this a major problem? i mean it started right after i installed the aem intake so i think its got to do with that

 

sig states "2008 TL Type S"... its his brakes people

not the friggin cats

bet you there's under 5-10k miles on the car too

 

smashing the gas and making the intake roar makes the smell occur =)
