Metallic smell

This winter I put a new 20g, replaced the stock cat with a Random Tech cat and wrapped the downpipe with header wrap. This week I have finally been able to drive the truck (twice). After it warms up and I put back in the garage, I can smell a metallic smell. I took a good wiff right up on the hot turbo. It doesn't appear to be coming from the turbo but with it hot, it is kind of hard to tell.

Any ideas on what possibly it could be? I am afraid to drive it again as whatever that smell might be is doing damage.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Metallic smell

it's from the new cat when they make them it's either the oil on the metal so they won't rust when new or the galvanization of the steel it'll burn off after 30 minutes of driving ! :tup:

Re: Metallic smell

You can't hear it but I just let out a sigh of relief.

Thanks for the help. I love this website!
