NEW TO MCF
JUST GOT MY FIRST MONTE! SHE'S A 2004 SUPERCHARGED SS AND I LOVE IT!!!! I WAS WONDERING WHAT MY FIRST MOD SHOULD BE? I WANT TO START SMALL, AND GET THE MOST HORSEPOWER FOR MY BUCK. ALSO I SEE THAT SOME OF YOU PUT FLOWMASTERS MUFFLERS ON. HOW DO THEY SOUND WITH THE 3.8 L? ANY HELP OR ADVISE WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS

Welcome! great pic, I would love to have a Monte and a Camaro.
And I'm sorry, but am I the only one bothered by posts in all caps?? It seems a bit hard to read, and usually implies "yelling" on forums.

The U bend is a bend in the exhaust near the cat that was put there to protect the 02 sensor. Its either before or after the cat, I cant remember, but its obvious once you see it. It almost looks like they smashed part of the pipe and bent it into a U. It restricts exhaust flow alot. Just get an exhaust shop to weld in a piece of 2.5" tubing in its place.
