Burning smell & Error codes

Hi boys, new to the forum.

I have a question and I know there's been posts about this before but I couldn't find anything related to my issue what so ever.

Friday just passed on the way home from work I could notice a slight burning smell of rubber or plastic. At first I didn't worry too much because t could've been from one of the cars around me as it was peak hour traffic. However, the smell followed the whole way home. Since then I am avoiding driving it until Tuesday week. 

The smell will only start after about 5 minutes of driving, I wouldn't say it's an electronical problem as surely something would've happened already and I would've noticed. Just assuming. I couldn't see a plastic bag stuck to my exhaust but I didn't get a proper look as my car is too low. The smell more so comes from the driver side but I can't pin where it's coming from and when I look and smell through the engine bay I can barely smell where it is. 

Two weeks prior, I had some high flow cats installed so I'm not sure if that might possibly be part of the issue either. If anyone has any rough idea or have experienced that issue it would be good to know. Im booked in with Hi Power Racing next week, I might have to wait until then.

 

Thanks

Hi

I would recommend to re install your high flow cats propelly with heat shields around each or take them down completely before you catch a fire. Its more likely that a noise insulation underneath of your car is melting down because your high flow cats are too close to the frame and getting too hot.
