I too, have noticed a hot rubber smell, but have no idea where it comes
from. I constructed heat shields/reflectors out of some 2" spacecraft
aluminum tape (Scotch #425 7118-5-4) by the AC "freon" hoses, and the
vacuem booster for the brakes. Nothing should be getting that hot, but
it sure makes the garage smell. (I'll check the reat of that AC hose)
I also flunked the butt dyno test, no noticable difference. Gas mileage
went up about 1.5 mpg. I have about 1,000 miles on the headers now,
installed by JBA themselves. I just gotta find the goofey socket and
fittings to get in there to re-torque it.
