Antenna and odd exhaust smell

I've been helping a friend with his FD. We are doing a full rats nest, rebuilt harness, gauges and basic clean up. Last night we ran across a few things i'm not sure about. First off we pulled the stereo to help with a Defi Din install and found this. I'm not sure how to fix the antenna.


For reference this is how they had the stereo antenna hooked up


They then grounded it here



Onto the exhaust smell. Once the car gets up to operating temp there is a "burnt popcorn" smell coming from the back of the car. I was hopping we could pull the cat and find something in there but couldn't find anything definitive. The only other thing i can think of is the copious amounts of gasket sealer on the exhaust gasket from DP to cat?



Any ideas would help greatly. Thanks

As for the Antenna get one of this. I got it when I shaved my antenna.

I put the little box behind the head liner and it works like a champ. Better than the OEM one.

If it doesn't work hondasr4kids idea will be back up. I'm just hoping all the cleaning will get ride of the burnt smell.

So my solderless motorola plug install shows 1 wire for the center red, but doesn't show anything about the white wire? Any ideas?
