Alright Im noticing a burning rubber smell when I accelereate quickly....im thinking it's a cracked pipe or at least im hoping. Any suggestions to what it could be?

Mine has (had) that because of an oil leak - when I accelerated the oil leaked out more and leaked onto the exhaust causing a bad smell.
Jack up your car and check for any visible leakage, also check under the hood, you might have a leaky valve cover gasket and the oil is leaking onto the manifold.
Does it only do it while the car is warming up and you accelerate hard? Or always when you accelerate hard?

You might want to check for wires or harnesses that's near the egr pipe or exhaust. And you are sure it's a burning smell of plastic and not your clutch slipping? Slipping clutch does have a distinct smell if you've ever smelled one, but it is close to a heated plastic/rubber.
