Should I replace DP or just U-Bend

I have a stock 2001 GTP and I plan on adding an MSP or Wizair CAI and 3.5 pulley soon. Is the 3" DP a worthwhile mod versus going with just the U-Bend delete? I'm debating which way to go at this point. Thanks.

You'll really need to do both.

Both.

Plus if you get a downpipe with the ubend deleted, you can do them at once for less money. And it's bolt-on which means you can do it yourself without having to pay a welder.

Just do it all at once.

...and not to mention that method will net you a hi-flow cat.

Or a straight pipe if your county allows it.
