That's funny.. the intermediate pipe isn't bent on my car. $280 for that is like paying $60 for a pack of gum.

I have a 305 TPI that's currently making at least 280hp and the Y-pipe that feeds into the single catalytic converter is only 2.25" so you should be okay with 2.5". But I don't think your power will go much higher. I know mine's choking with that 2.25" bottleneck -- I'll be changing to the dual-cat system very soon.
