U bend delete needed?
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.

RE: U bend delete needed?
The Ubend will have you feel a slight gain in power, yes, and will help deepen the sound of your exhaust. It wont be major, so dont expect to be shaving off seconds off the 1/4 mile or anything!

I've also heard that depending on the engine you have, it'll eliminate the needed backpressure and cause you to lose power.
I forget which engine that is though. Hopefully one of the other members can help on this one?

Maybe like $75-90 at an exhaust shop, depending on what they all find to charge you for. Some places charge you for everything including the pipe, any stretching or bending to the pipe, welding, clamps, and labor; some might just ask for $50 and call it good. It all depends on the shop I guess. I haven't gotten mine out but I planto before spring.
