Can i Just Do this?
I wanna get my shitty exhaust replaced. I plan on just sending it to a muffler shop and running straight pipe. cant i just not get a cat back and have them run the pipes all the way to the back and just throw on some mufflers? I have an 88 Vert..... should i keep the cat? <~ Im an idiot sorry

No, that's not true. If you were to get a racing beat presilencer, it will have a nipple for pressure that attaches via hose to the LIM, making your aux ports open up.

You're in miami... are there no emissions laws there?
Federally speaking you may not get the "cat back". The shop may be legally obligated to throw it away when removed and may also be legally obligated to replace it meaning: they may not do a straight pipe. This is regardless of state or local emissions laws. ~rich

I do NOT think the bung in a straight pipe would work. If it did, everyone would do it.
The only reason it works in the presilencer is because the air is not just shooting right thru, it's getting stuck inside for a little bit (backpressure) obviously long enough for the pickup tube to do it's thang.
You're gonna have to have some sort of restriction (presilencer, cat) to get the aux ports to function mechanically.
OR, you can use an RPM switch and an electronic air-pump to open them. This is both more reliable when done correctly, and will ensure that they open in all gears. Ex: In first gear, you're not under a lot of load, you may not get them to open all the way, if at all.

You can do this, but if you eliminate the cat you may find that the car is very loud with only a single muffler and you will have to figure out a way to actuate you 5th and 6th ports (check Archives for both air pump and electronics methods). Turbo cars can get away with only mufflers since the turbo quiets the exhaust down a lot.
Just welding a bung onto the mid-pipe for the aux ports generally doesn't work as most flow through mufflers don't have enough restriction. You may actually end up having to insert a curved tube through that hole with a bellmouth on it's end and pointing it towards the exhaust flow. Or jus use the air pump...

Hey Aaron, the rotating valves are connected by a linkage right? Could you flip the linkages 180 degrees and use variable vacuum to operate the valves in reverse? Would make it easier... ~rich
