I have had the same issue. This is one that the Dealer has no clue. Seems to happen after accelerating. Have had the smell since new, but with the windows up and AC on during the hot season in FL, I have not addressed a fix. Any one else?

When I first got my Z06 I was asked if something was added to my gas.
After a while the exhuast smell just went away.

My Z06 is coming up on 2 years of age, and almost 10K miles, and I still notice a heavy exhaust smell from time to time. It's not exactly like unburned exhaust, and not like regular tail pipe smell either. I sort of think it might have something to do with the smell of hot titanium, but who knows... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:confused: Never noticed a smell but my Z had the Borla 1400017's installed before it even left the lot. BTW I love the smell of Z06 exhuast in the morning. :D
