My guess would be your catalayic converter...do you have emissions where your at, if so get a new one but if you dont just gut yours out or buy a high flow..Good luck

I thought as well but it is a brand new converter.

yup, and that's because it's breaking in. All of the materials have to get used to heating up to 1000*+ temperatures and it smells for a while. I just read a great article about it in the latest issue of modified mag. It was nice since there isn't a lot of information about cats out there.
