Anybody ever notice the smell of new headers gaskets ? lol

Everybody ever notice the smell of new header gaskets ? I've put on three sets in the last month (Mr Gasket Ultra Seal) and every time I get this REALLY FOUL, dead cat smelling, odor coming into the interior for a few miles after they've just been put on. Damn... I wonder what they make them out of... lol

I'm curious about the part how you know what what a dead cat smells like well enough to be able to compare it to something else.
