u-bend delete does it really help?
OK I am sure that everyone out there is tired of answering this question. So What I was wondering if I take the u-bend out will it make my exhaust louder? I already have 40's Flowmaster and Resonator taken out. Will it be worth it to take out that u-bend? Will I feel a gain, and will I notice a difference in sound. I think it sonds good now, but it can always be better.

Not sure how much sound you would gain, but you will gain an honest 5 HP to the wheels. It is actually the single best mod you can do for your car and should have been the first one.
It will give you more power actually than the resonator and Flowmasters gave you.

I am about to order the ZZPerformance piece. It came down in price recently. I am told that it should be about $15 - $20 worth of labour to put it in.

If you plan on doing upgrades, just skip the delete and upgrade to a 3" downpipe and get 3 mods done right away: the larger pipe downpipe, a high flow or no cat, and the ubend delete. These all help exhaust gasses escape and will improve the performance of your engine.
