would a magnaflow cat get rid of the u bend, does that one just bolt on and will i see a hp increase?
However, you're trying so hard to find ways to make power- no one can suggest anything until you tell us all the engine mods you currently have, and how much you want to spend- then we can put you on track to what you can and should do.

Does what one bolt on? You didn't link to anything, or give us a clue what we're looking for. Assuming you're just going to call up Magnaflow and buy a cat- of course it won't bolt up- the factory cat is welded in as part of the downpipe assembly. So obviously you'll have to get your cat cut out and the new one welded up.
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time- you're not going to gain hardly any power- its not a real big restriction unless your factory one is plugged.

I disagree- if you buy a quality tuner like DHP PT or HPT, the risk is very minimal- and is almost completely user caused (ie unplug during a flash, let the car or laptop battery go dead mid flash, etc). While I don't think the tuner/programmer should be his next mod, a real tuner is not going to fry your pcm.

That's THE programmer I was TALKING about. I'll tell everyone and their mother-in-law not to buy one, but that's MY opinion from MY experience. I now have HP tuner and I'm very happy with it
This is what I mean:
but stay away from the programmers

In the picture you can see where the O2 sensor gets screwed on. That section is straight. That's where the U-bend used to be but in this DP it has been deleted.

The thing in the picture posted above is a complete downpipe. If you were to buy just a cat as you were saying, this is all you would get:
