Hey guys,

Just got a midpipe and greddy pulley kit. It's time to eliminate my airpump!!! =)

Well my delema is this. I am going to gave to smog my car in less than 6 mo so I will have to replace all. Not a big deal, but I dont want to block off the airpump pipes. Is there any other way of doing this? Can I just use rubber plugs? Do I really need to plug those pipes?


Thanks

Ian

Bump.

I was wondering the same thing. I just installed my pullies today, too.

I just plugged where the airpump was and put a bop on the tube that goes to the stock cat.

what did you plug it with, and whats a bop?

Removed airpump and did nothing to the open hoses yet. Block off plates on the way. If there isn't flow coming from the airpump there really is no worry. I think there is a 1 way valve that way no exhaust gas comes up in reverse

if its not a big deal to let the pipes sit there why do people block them off?

cleaner look I would guess, I've driven with them for over a month now without problems. I like to remove anything thats not needed so i'll be removing the lines, since the pump is gone so are there function

Bah, then I dont care. I might as well leave them on and not plug them. it eill be much easier in 6 mo. when i have to put the poump back on.

Thanks
