Breaking in Fisters
I finally got my Fister II’s on Two days ago (sorta wish that I had bought the 3’s).
my questions are:
-I am smelling a strong burning smell, is there a protective oil inside them from manufacturing or on the outside? It smells exactly like melting wax when you wax your skis if that helps.
- did someone say that the mufflers break in and get a bit louder over time? I thought I read that somewhere.
thanks for any help!

2) Haven't heard any obvious change in my mufflers over 3000 miles.

Did you get the optional ceramic coating?

No smell. No break in on my 3s. Make sure your tips are not resting against your bumper...

thanks guys,
Ok, I’ll go look at the bumper.
no ceramic coating on mine.
definately a burning wax smell, and a lot of it!

Several times that I’ve had aftermarket exhausts put on cars I’ve noticed odd smell for a few hundred miles. I’d get under there and take a look but I wouldn’t be panicking.
FWIW: I have FDIII w/ motorsound air box and they are pretty loud. I like them but was nervous for the first week or two after getting them on!
