Phosphorus smell

So I have recently noticed a slight to strong phosphorus smell after I really step on it...I don't have anything done other than an x-pipe in place of resonator. (CLS55)

Any ideas? I have extended warranty so just want ideas so I can ask the dealer to check it out.

Thanks

Exhaust fumes? Brake smell? Leaking oil? Did you check under to hood to look for anything abnormal?

Do you think you could have a loose bolt/cracked exhaust manifold or something?

Or could be a foreign object stuck on the exhaust like a melted plastic bag. I know that happens a lot and it smells like crap after you drive your car hard.

Hmm could be a possibility. Could just be a lose bolt between the headers and downpipe. Ya check it out and keep us updated. Hope you get it figured out. Also make sure that the welds are complete around the x pipe you have. (black residue will be visible).
