New to forced induction here. I see around the site and from trying to read up on my car that it seems GM gave us a fun little Ubend in the exhaust to deal with. My question is this. Besides a U... what does this look like? anyone have a photo? Also, if I take it to an exhaust shop (haven't welded exhaust before and should do experimenting later) how much SHOULD it cost to have them deal with it. I realize I can go in and get a quote... but I'm curious as to what it SHOULD be not what they're gonna charge some dumb kid.
Furthemore i've heard wispers that a Ubend delete ( more so headers) will cause a drop in boost? Now... I get that the actual pressure goes down because of the loss in backpressure, but... isn't their technically still MORE air flowing through? at a lower pressure.... Am I an idiot (don't answer that). IF this is an issue that will drop my boost and HP (i'm coming from a duratech taurus so the HP it much appreciated.) if swapping to a SLIGHTLY smaller pulley an option? I'm not looking for huge gains, and I did read up on KR, i just don't want to LOSE any horsies.
Great forum guys, very helpful.
