I got rid of the resonator with straight pipe, ubend delete via a magnaflow high flow cat, and have dual 40s. It is way too loud on highway speeds, so glad it worked out for u

Sorry... Forgot to tell you how much it cost.

I had bought a K&N CAI and installed that one myself. Cost - $260.00 @ 3800 Performance
Then I bought the MagnaFlow with Tips (2 because of the dual exhaust)at a Muffler Shop and they installed it. Cost - $300.00 (installed) --- I liked the sound but was not loud at all. It sound almost like the stock mufflers and I wanted to be a little louder.
That's when I got rid of the Resonator and the U-Bent. Cost - $45.00

So the total cost for this adventure was less than $650.00 (with tax and all). I am sure someone out there can find all this at a lesser cost, but I am very satisfy with the quality of the work and I don't mind spending the $$ if they take good care of my Monte and the quality is to my satisfaction. AND I AM VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO MY MONTE!!!!

Excellent. That's not bad at all. Only 45$ for ubend and resonator delete? Very cost-effective. Now we just need someone that's gotten dynod with each change to see the difference... LOL

What a weekend at work I had!!!! I am glad it's over. As promissed, I took a small video (about 1.5 minutes) so that you guys can hear the sound of my Monte. This is with a dual Magnaflow muflers, with U-Bend delete and Resonator delete and replaced with a straight pipe. Hope you like the sound of it as much as I do. Enjoy and... please provide feedback.

Wiz Kidd - The car sounds great, even on the highway. There is just a little "rumble" that you can hear inside, but it's not bad at all. As a matter of fact, the "rumble" is louder while in City driving than at high speed. Idrive about50 miles every day to work and back. Most of my driving is on the highway (about 40 miles at 70 MPH) and the noise is very minimal to none.

As for the part numbers:
Mufflers - Magnaflow 4 X 9 Oval Stainless Steel
14" Body Length
2.50 Inlet/Outlet
Part # 14316

Tips - Oblong Tip Stainless
5.25(W) X 2.75(H) X 7.25(L)
Part # 35175
