U-Bend S-pipe?

That is where a few people are getting a JC Whitney U bend pipe, cutting it in half, slipping 1 half over and welding it back together to form an "S-Pipe"...........I've never actually seen or done it but from the posts I'd say it works pretty well as an S-Pipe

Anyone got any pictures or the part number for this? Is it better than getting 2 45 deg pipes?Whisper Lid, SLP CAI, KN Filter, 3\" HiFlo Carsound Cat, full 3\" mandrel-bent piping, Flowmaster 80s, Casper O2 Sim, BM Tranny Cooler, Vigilante 3300 Torque Converter, Corvette Servo, 3.42 gears, SLP take-off LSD, Manual Fan Switch, & 160 Thermostat.

I don't have any pictures, but I just did it about 2 weeks ago. It is actually a part from Jegs, all you do is cut it right in the middle of the U and then flip one end around so it looks like an S and weld that together.
If you do a search you can find the part #. I can send you a link to the post I got my part # for but I'll have to get it to you later.
It may or may not flow better but it only cost abot $25 as opposed to $50 or more for the 2 45s1996 Silver Camaro, Y87, M5, cammed..<br />N/A Best Time: 14.012 @ 98.59<br />195 rwhp / 233 ft-lbs b/f heads/cam<br />Check out my site <a href=\"http://silver3800.cz28.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://silver3800.cz28.com/</a>

This is the post I went off of and it worked great, if you have any questions feel free to email me. I basically did the cut and welded it at home then handed it to the muffler guy to put on the rest of the system.

It looks like cutting that in half and flipping it would work way better1999 Firebird Black<br />A4 3.08 gears<br />Mods: Carbon Fiber Whisper Lid, Raised Air Box, K&N Air Filter, Direct Hits Ignition, Flowmaster American Thunder 3\", 160 Degree Hypertech Thermostat, SLP Fan Switch, 3\" High Flow Cat<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=273903\" target=\"_blank\">My car on Cardomain</a>

So you got the
CTO-2517 Catco cat and it already has the O2 fitting on it already?
Can you get the U-pipe from summit also?Whisper Lid, SLP CAI, KN Filter, 3\" HiFlo Carsound Cat, full 3\" mandrel-bent piping, Flowmaster 80s, Casper O2 Sim, BM Tranny Cooler, Vigilante 3300 Torque Converter, Corvette Servo, 3.42 gears, SLP take-off LSD, Manual Fan Switch, & 160 Thermostat.

I got the CATCO 6007 cause the other one was out of stock. I had to buy the cat from summit and the U-pipe from Jegs cause summit doesn't sell it.
I had the bung welded in from the old pipe.1996 Silver Camaro, Y87, M5, cammed..<br />N/A Best Time: 14.012 @ 98.59<br />195 rwhp / 233 ft-lbs b/f heads/cam<br />Check out my site <a href=\"http://silver3800.cz28.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://silver3800.cz28.com/</a>
