    95 tahoe bucking in top gear

    A new issue developed the other day. it occurs most obviously when i'm cruising at highway speed and I need to step on the gas a little to accelerate or climb a hill.

    Old Manifolds

    Anybody have any advice on unbolting the exhaust pipes from the manifolds carefully. I have to replace my converter and my manifolds are so rusted I'm thinking they'll break before the bolts come out & I'd rather not have to replace the manifolds as well. Any advice would be MUCH appreciated.
