Anyone with Invidia G200 Smell like Plastic burning?

So my car is starting to smell like burning plastic around the front cabin and near the rear quarter panel. The exhaust also smells a little funky but I don't remember seeing any plastic or anything inside of the pipes since they were wrapped in bags and i took the bags completely off. Anyone know if this is because of the glasspacks, the flex pipes, or could it be that the midpipe is melting the hanger? Any thoughts or similar experiences? I looked under the car and did not see any plastic bags or anything.
