    I'm getting my ubend removed and replacing with a straight pipe. Will I notice any difference in anyway once this is replaced?

    your car sounds crappy and will never sound like a v8. these cars are meant to be quiet and fast, not obnoxious. the exhaust note is never good unless you go with a turbo.

    Something new people don't realize is mufflers/bigger exhaust piping/cat or resonator deleting does nothing for performance...in fact probably hurts them. It is all in the Manifolds and Downpipe.

    I deff agree...I want to buy headers after my warranty ends but I don't like the idea of spending 600$$ for it. Anyone have headers put in that are pretty good but not outrages on price...

    Headers are more money because you pay for the performance...get a Front PLOG and 3" Catted Downpipe...that won't hurt your warranty...and it'll save your motor from that 3.4" with no exhaust mods.

    I have a 3.8 and the warranty covers certain things. I know for sure that headers will void warranty....

    Just get the PLOG and Downpipe...if your that worried about a warranty get a set of Ported Stock Manifolds and put the stock gold covers back on them.
