Worth keeping pump?
Hi, i was thinking about gutting my cats i have an 87 TII so would the air pump be totally useless after that? Would keeping it help AT ALL with the smell after i gut the cats or would it have any affect at all?
Thanks in advance for the help!

ok, thats what i had in mind, only one problem, in this part of california they require to pass emissions, but i was thinking i could get a PO Box somewhere where it isnt required right? But what do i say if the car is registered in another city, but i am driving it in the same city that is on my drivers lincense if pulled over?

I have heard through the grape vine (these forums) that if your worried about emissions, Run like 1 gallon of denatured alcohol with 10 gallons of gas in your tank and take it up to your sniffer test station. I've heard it'll pass without problem. But dont hold me 100% to it.

I might have similar issues when I get my car back up and running. I'll just throw my cat back on (with the denatured alcohol "trick") for the visual inspection part, and keep my fingers crossed/say a prayer while they're running the car on the dynamo.
