not much higher, 2 1/2 is going to make you lose some torque

I needed that data for a guy who is writing an article about my T-bird.
Speaking of exhaust, do you know a safe way to get rid of those two small cats going right after the manifolds? Think it's not a good idea to unbolt the pipes from manifolds. They are pretty rusted after 18 years and I don't want to mess something up!

Take it to an exhaust shop and see if they can get them off. Even if they break you could have them put new studs in the mainifold.

Don't forget to have the guy mention this site in the article.
