This is day 2 of having the ART pipes but I noticed some fumes coming from the car, smells similar to gasoline but not sure. Anyone else experiencing this? You smell it when you start up the car and if you are stuck in traffic idling you will notice it as well. Note I didn't reset the BCM or unplug the battery, would that change anything? Also I notice that my gauge that displays how much mileage is left until I need to refill changed dramatically. Mileage dropped, not sure why either.
Update: Tony confirmed that the smell is normal. I also did a reset and the mileage gauge is back to normal.
That smell is definitely normal. At first, it was a little overbearing to me, but it's not that noticeable after a while. It will become normal. I'm pretty sure that Tony says the upcoming exhaust is possibly going to eliminate the strong smell and rasp. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Tony.)

Try not to worry about the smell. It lets everyone behind you know what's up.

you can only eliminate the smell by having cats in the path

with his exhaust you can have optional cat in there to eliminate the smell.
