New Exhaust Installed but there's a burning SMELL

I just had my brand new exhaust installed on monday. Since then after i get out of my car, i smell this burning smell coming from my exhaust. Is that normal or should is it something I should be concerned about. O and I already checked to see if there was any plastic stuck to it that could have been burning and there was none.

no worries

this is normal. there is a chemical that is sprayed into the exhaust from the factory to make sure there are no leaks in the exhaust. the chemical is just burning off. thats what u smell. it should go away in about 3-5 weeks.
