u bend delete..good mod?

are there any performance gains by just deleting the u bend?

I guess that you are talking exhaust


Just remember that the bigger the better, and the less bends the better.


But you have to remember the 2nd rule……. It gets loud

In a word...no.

The u-bend is an exhaust restriction, but you will not notice a difference in a stock car. If the pipe is rusted or you're replacing a cat anyway, then go ahead and do the u-bend delete, as it will not have any negative effects either.

There is documented proof via dyno tests a u-bend delete may give you up to a 5 hp increase with the L67 SII 3800 engine but you will not feel it in the seat of your pants. :grinno:
