No problems, other than being a touch ghetto rig. Performance is another thing, though. Ideally, you want straight through mufflers on a turbo car, not the reverse-flow, ironically-named "turbo mufflers" on a turbocharged car.

you will be fine sir...how does it sound? any video clips?

You could have also deleted your 2nd cat and 1 or both resonators. It may have been cheaper, but louder.

flowmaster mufflers SUCK for flow. Baffles in direct line of flow, ugh. terrible.
If it were me, I'd go online and find the biggest magnaflow straight-thru muffler I could fit and have them hack off the flowmaster and weld in the magnaflow.

If you were just looking for sound then thats cool, but your not going to get any performance out of it. Whoever said that it will mess up your cars turbo is full of shit, mufflers are designed to restrict noise pollution.
