You bought the non-AIR headers then. Do you need AIR to pass emissions or inspection? Just take that crap off.

Hooker 2055, Edelbrock, SLP, Mac all have headers with the AIR injection if you need it.

I personally don't care if it passes emissions or not , from what I've read on the forum , it doesn't really make a difference in the way the car runs except it make's the exhaust cleaner. Am I correct in this ? please help me out!!!!!!!

Yea, it makes it cleaner by injecting air into the exhaust to allow the burning of any fuel that is left unburnt by the combustion process. No, it won't affect how it runs.
