Default F sport exhuast burn smell

Just had the new F sport exhaust installed on my fiancées car and it has a burning smell to it when I turn off the car. Is this normal for a new exhaust? The donut gasket is installed from the OEM exhaust and I don't see any plastic stuck on the mufflers.

Completely normal. Give it some time and the smell will stop.

I had exactly the same issue when installing my F sport exhaust. It had a "chemical burning" type of smell for about a week. The more you use your car the quicker it will disappear. Completely normal.
