Exhaust Fumes

I recently installed a DC sports Header, AEM short ram intake and Venom 400. I noticed a semi-strong smell of exhaust fumes when I started the car. I let it run for a few min. to warm up and it went away. Is this something I can expect to notice everytime, or is it something that will go away when I install my Cat-back Exhaust later this week? There is no check engine light on either.

It's normal....the muffler is being broken in. Smells goes away after 1-2 weeks.

Wait, I'm confused, you havent' installed your exhaust yet but you smell exhaust fumes right? Maybe your engine is getting used to the new mods, like the HEADER, and INTAKE. might go away when you INSTALL your EXHAUST
