    Mine does this too.

    Turns out even though my flexi on the exhaust looks ok it is infact fractured inside.

    Depends if you mind the smell or not.

    My flexi looked in good condition but it was a bit sooty and when I took it off it was broken off inside.

    Now its changed I dont get the smell.
