Maybe it's the low mileage on your TRD exhaust. After I had mine installed it smoked and stank for a while.

Well it went away now HA! it hink they dropped oil around the cap when they did the oil change and it was just burning off..because the smell went away. I noticed the last time i opened my hood there was some drippins around my oil cap. So...PROBLEM SOLVED!
