Well I finally decided that it was time that I needed to get rid of the nasty U-bend. I had exhuast shop take a look at it and there going to be putting a straight pipe threw it that there going to fab up themselves. Guy told me that the 02 sensor being on the side would cause a real big issue with snow hitting the sensor and killing it. I just said that shouldn't be an issue and told them to set up a time for me to come in. The guy tried to convince me as well that I wouldn't notice ne gains at all from it. I think with the mods I currently have this will contribute well so we will see thursday. I dont think the sound should be much different but im sure someone whos gotten the u bend delete can pitch in and talk about theirs..
