Guys my car just wouldnt start..and when i click the start button it keeps on trying to start but doesnt..at first i thought it might be the battery but there is some burning smell too..so made me worry a bit and i have some indications that comeout while trying like handbrake fault and automativ headlight fault but everything is ok the screen evrything works fine its just that it wont start it keeps on trying to with having this burning smell...

P.S i have done a rear muffler delete with ot being stock with no tune some peope told me about that i might have loose pressure but i saw alot of peope doing it with no complains and is it any kind related to what im facing... Would really appreciate some thoughts

I highly doubt your muffler delete will cause any issues.

Just get it towed to the dealer! I can imagine you're still under warranty.

No, my infotainment doesnt say low battery. Does it usually show there if its a low battery?

I drained mine the other day and had similar symptoms to what you describe. No smell though but I only tried cranking it 3 times. I noticed that the infotainment screen showed a low battery warning message in text when I tried the third time. Why not try getting a jump?

If it doesn't start with a jump then I would remove all engine mods and have it taken to the dealer.

Check your battery leads to make sure they're not loose.

Muffler delete would not cause any issues. And should not be a problem for warranty.

Might be the battery, had similar encounter with mine - then just jump-start it
