Default My exhaust smells at prolonged WOT?

Is this the way an s4 usually is? I see no smoke (in the rear view mirror), thank-god.
I remember my ma's Z Turbo smelled like rotten eggs when it was going bad, but my smell (in the s4 that is) smells like...I dunno...but not eggs. Hopefully it's just a loose engine with unburned fuel coming out the exhaust!
So yeah.........and also..........when they're that deep into my car with the TB......I was thinking......coil-overs....but they are expensive for the good one's, which ever they are. But ohhhhhh, how I'd marvel at my car/man's creation when she'd be 1.5" lower. aggressive.
blah.....

You post is very hard to read, try to get one thought done before going on to another.

What does it smell like? A new exhaust will smell for a little bit. The rotten egg smell is form the Cats, not the exhaust.

A TB job has nothing to due with the suspension. It's totally different labor, and there will be no advantage to having it done with the TB job.

Votlands are the best bang for the buck coil overs at $1150 shipped.

Yeah he understood it. What's that gotta say about you!?
Anyhow....yeah, I confuse myself sometimes I confuse myself.

Seriously though, thank you for the advice about the coil overs. but I think that will have to wait until I have $. About the stock exhaust though: Does anyone else's car smell bad inside when driving at WOT, for say 9 seconds?

I'll clarify if you want
