air management ?

Alright, I took the car to the muffler shop today to get an estimate. While I was under the car looking at it I noticed an air management tube coming from my cat. Well, I am wanting to delete the cat. What should I do with the air management tube? I hear that if you plug it then that will back up into the smog. Whats the story here, what should I do?

Well, if you remove the catalytic converter, there is little point to retaining the AIR system (since it is meant to improve converter efficiency).. Might as well remove the smog pump and air tubes...

A quick search for smog pump delete will give you enough stuff to read for a few days.

It will not throw a code. Read the sticky in the TBI forum for some good links. There is a section there about smog delete that will help you out.
