It happens randomly. During long road trips and during short trips. I haven't driven it hard at all and it will still happen. Anyone know what this could be. I have had a full catback exhaust done and I have a chip.

Default I think it's normal.

Is this an ozone smell (like something electrical frying itself)? If so, I think this is normal. I've noticed it in my car and I noticed it in my old Nissan. I had the Nissan for 140k miles, noticed the smell once every month or so and nothing related ever broke. I've also noticed it in other cars.

yup, normal, esp. if your car still has relatively low miles...
