08 R56 Turbo questions Mods)

I have been reading about the Turbo muffler on my car. I want to eliminate this with the hose kits I see available. If I do , what is the best kits and will this affect my engine or turbo in a negative way?
I use it as a daily driver and do run it hard at times. I have the AEM Cold Air Kit and Magnaflow 2.5 inch catback stainless exhaust. It's almost at 28K miles and I have the AUTO transmission. Plan to do some brake mods and maybe suspension mods later. I just need to know is this a good idea !

The best bet if you aren't broke (like me) is to just get something like the NM hot and cold side pipes. That way you delete the muffler on the turbo side and the noise maker on the engine side. Better flow + Better sound =

Your best bet is to do something worthwhile. Not eliminating the turbo muffler.
