Just ordered my U-Bend delete
I just placed my order from ZZPerformance for my U-Bend delete for Silver. I should receive it by the end of next week. I know a local shop that will install it for a reasonable price. They did my 03 U-Bend delete and an exhaust mod to my 06 Mini Cooper S.

I got my u-bend delete but stupid me - didn't select the rear O2 sensor bung. I took the pipe to the exhaust shop anyway and they wanted crazy money to install it because they were going to take off the stock cat pipe off the car to weld the u-bend onto it. So I am going to return the u-bend delete and I'm going to take the plunge and order the downpipe. It would cost me considerably less for labor because the downpipe is a direct bolt on which would take about an hour to install it.

the downpipe is a much better option over just the u bend delete, glad you upgraded it. an hour seems a bit long just to install the downpipe though, dont let them rip you off!

I sure hope so! I'm so glad to here that you haven't thrown any codes. The guys at the shop were really cool. But, I think I will hang on to my old Cat just in case I throw a code. Then I can throw the stocker back on to pass emissions.
