Thanks for sharing the video and tips. Realized that a catted down pipe vs de-catted you would leave some HP/TQ on the table but didn't know about the smell. That in itself would be a deal breaker for me unless I was full out racing the car. The extra numbers aren't worth it to be able to drive and enjoy the car on the street.

As a complete noob. What all is the point of this upgrade? Would you say an upgrade like this would only be worth discussing if you also improved the intake as well as a proper tuning?

I ask these questions cus I am a noob, I want to buy the 2.0T 10 Speed, and someday later I would like to make her faster ;p

I'm really happy with the downpipe no smell from it. I'm mainly doing the mods because I can't leave any car I own alone, these particular mods open up the exhaust for higher than stock boost levels which I'm pushing.

Did you end up reusing the gasket that goes from the turbocharger to the downpipe or did you have to order a new one?

I bought a new one but have pulled it after the fact and reused without issue.
