I am running no resonators and and a catless CNT downpipe. Car is loud but I like it. It especially screams in the 5500-7000rpm range. Best part was it was $300 for my entire "exhaust".

I understand why people like to go with a CBE though.

Do you have an accessport? How is it catless any turbo smoke? And that's the good thing about the corksport is it's supposed to be pretty tame when I want it but a good loud tone when I want it to be heard lol

So me and my dad put the exhaust on and it sounds amazing!! There wasn't an area for some of the heat shields because there were no hangers like on the stock downpipe. I drove it around the block a little bit ago and when I stopped and shut it off some smoke seemed to be coming from the downpipe area up through the engine so I opened my hood and let it "cool" I guess. It had a weird burning smell is this normal for a new exhaust or is this bad :(

Most exhausts have a coating on them that will burn off the first time you drive it. SO as long as it doesn't continue for weeks and weeks, I'd say you're fine. I had no heatshields around my downpipe either because the stock ones wouldn't fit.

Nope. No problems. Installed my downpipe with around 8k miles I think and had 22k miles when I traded it in.

No. As long as you have flashed a tune with the AP that takes into account all your new mods, you should be good to go. No break in period or anything.

I have an AP and I am on one of the new replacement K04's after my first one started smoking. Got it replaced under warranty some time ago. No smoke now.
