I talked to Performance Fords a couple of months back and they said that a 2.5'' exhaust wouldn't be a problem. I really wish taht I had won Powerball tonight...

Too big and you can lose some low end torque. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods
