Get it "fixed" ??? Looks like you already have new mufflers and for some reason didn't replace all piping. . .if thats the case you probably have 2.25 inlets, so i don't see how you will fix it without getting new muffs. . .

I had my monte looked at this past weekend by a racing shop... in my case, they didn't recommend removing the u-bend or going to bigger pipe... since I don't plan on doing anything else to the engine anyway, and since these cars aren't putting out THAT much HP, they said it wouldn't make a difference. so I'm just going to get some new mufflers and gonna save my pennies for the new camaro... and bigger pipe = more weight...

Thats what I'm going to do because I agree with them the stock size pipe is good for the 350hp that I'll probably ever see,just want to change the sound and new tips.
