akirby Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 It's usually stickers or something on the exhaust but that should have burned off by now. Look to see if something is leaking onto the exhaust somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 No leaks, more of a plastic smell. Thought it would go away after a 2500 road trip but still have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 My smell finally went away at about 5000 miles. Ford Dealer said it was most likely a label on th catalytic converter,No smell since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think they put a coating on the CCs that takes time to burn off. Maybe less time in warmer climates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
