Air Pump question.....?

Hey guys, got a question.



You know how the air tube goes into the cat? Well I have a straight pipe in my cat. So this leaves no where for the air to go. Would this cause alot of pressure and end up killing my air pump?

probably not, but if you are really concerned, just drill a hole though the pipe for somewhere for the air to go.

You can have the AIR tube just dump into the atmosphere. It won't hurt anything. Or you could tie it into your stright pipe just to make things look clearer.
