A while back someone mention that he had a burning rubber smell after he
put his JBA's on. I was wondering if the smell ever went away.

I installed them last week end, when on easy, no leaks, everything
great. The wife drives the Dakota during the week for her daily driver,
she's complainning about a burning rubber smell, I checked and there is
a burning rubber smell, but no sign of anything burning or getting real
hot. Guess the Dakota has about a 100 miles on it since the headers
were installed, no problems just the smell.

By the way we have been unable to tell any difference with the JBAs
other than it's not as loud and has the rubber smell. My seat of pants
dyno can detect no performance increased.
