1. I have been starting to hear this clicking sound like kindve what I can best describe it as is a light switch or switch relay sound that happened like once every other drive and it seems like it’s coming near the center console. Haven’t heard this for like almost 3k miles and this car I bought new. Has anyone else heard this and is this normal?
2. Just recently installed an AA GESI Downpipe and made sure the vband and everything was fitting good. I smell some minor exhaust inside the cabin is this normal?

Thanks!
