U- bend is a part in the exhaust of all 2nd Gen w-bodies. It's right after the downpipe, and theres a bend in the piping thats something like 1.75/2" I think where GM thought it would be a good idea and put a 2nd O2 sensor. It's a huge loss of exhaust flow, and a lot of people cut that out(and maybe the resonator) and weld in a piece of straight pipe to get rid of the bend.

 

It supposedly gives a few extra HP and it reduces knock on the L67 cars.

wow :eek: I love gm cars but that's another excellent ideas from the engineers at gm :lol: that would probably make a noticable difference. that's worse than the stock y-pipe on a first gens dual exhaust. thanks for the info and pics :biggrin:
