You should really consider an OCC, upgraded PCV valve, and new oil filter housing gasket. Luckily, none of those parts are brutally expensive, and the PCV+OCC can be done on your own if you have some patience. The OFHG is close to free if you DIY, but that takes some time. Sorry your car is being an asshole dude
Yea stock downpipes are still on, N55 midpipes. I already have an OCC, might look into the oil filter though...and I don't smell the smoke, it seems to be white smoke. I seem to go through about a quart of oil a month
