Good. As the turbos worsen, it'll happen all the time.

as long as you aren't pumping oil into your exhaust and you are making power... DRIVE it!

Default yeah, when my buddy's went, tthey went from silent

to leaving a HUGE plume of white smoke with now warning. LOL. Happened during WOT at a track event.

Mine made drill noise for awhile, but i didn't bother waiting around since they were warrantied.

My new ones have been loud as **** when cold since day one. Some of the loudest i've ever heard. They're much quieter when warmed up. Until then, i sound like an old fashioned police siren for about the first 2 miles. lol.

For sure. I know people who've driven with the noise for thousands of miles.
