Lightbulb Burnt Exhaust Smell

So when I drive around in comfort mode the smell isnt noticeable. However after driving in Sport or Sport+ I have this burnt smell that is very strong. I have checked for exhaust leaks and nothing, smell seems to be coming out from the exiting exhaust pipes. I have installed a downpipe previously however it doesnt have the sulfer smell that many claim after a downpipe install. Any tips and info appreciated.

Usually when you have a cat it filters that smell. It’s an oil fed turbo so it burns oil. Now that it isn’t filtering it you’re just able to smell it. Perfectly normal to be catless
