Air Tubes???

The AIR tubes on the drivers side is broke. Where the actual hose connects to the metal and screws in, all the edges are broke off, so it won't screw in and it's just held together by some wire. I can't stand the sound of it nemore, so i was wondering if it is better to take all the AIR stuff off or relpace the air tube. Everything else on the car is stock and i'm thinking of selling it next spring so would it decrease it's value or ableness to sell? Thanks for your opinions,

Brady

If you have no emission inspection where you live just yank the tubes out and screw in some 1/4 pipe plugs (available at any hardware store) in the holes where they were

Is this the car with a "new 5000 mile engine". If so then there goes stock. Unfortunately, unless these cars have everything 100% stock and extremely low miles, they are more or less worthless without mods. Get rid of AIR, its a pain in the ***.

You can buy new air tubes at the parts store.. Advance Auto Parts carries them in the GP Sorensen line... They're only like ~$40.

They are not actually pipe plug threads. Pipe plugs are tapered, and the fittings on the AIR injection isn't.
Pipe plugs will work ok if you can't find the right ones.

D's89IROCZ I forget what they are, but I know someone that can tell me. I'll ask and post when I get a reply.
