Default Wats Up?

Hey Guys
I recently joined up..wanted to say hi..
Been lurking for a week or so..great info here...


I dont have a monte yet, seriously considering an 07 SS lease to replace my leased GMC..
Big fan of what the car offers options-wise, cool styling and of course .. an LS4..

Probably do a catback and cold air..
Would like to have a near-stock idle quality but a healthy mid/high rpm growl
I did a GMMG Chambered/Kooks Long Tube combo on my 02 Camaro..little loud for everyday (atleast for my neighbors)


Ohh, anyone have any pictures of the U-Bend exhaust section?
Read a lot about people replacing this section...wondering what it looks like..


Been into cars my whole life...
I am currently doing a resto/mod 68 Camaro .. hope to get 'er drivable this year..

Scott

i might be wrong about this but i thought that the new 06 and 07's did not have a U-bend but i might be wrong
