Hi, I'm new to this site and I just got this 1988 GTA 5,7 TPI. I also just got a new single cat-back exhaust, y-pipe and headers w/o air and I have no idea about how to get rid of these air connections to all cylinders so that i can put in my new shorty headers and exhaust. I don't really care about the emissions because this car will be leaving the country soon so I do not have to worry about passing inspection. I just need to find out the simplest way to get rid of those pipes that connect to every cylinder's exhaust. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

You mean the air lines that go into the exhaust manifold? If so you can get a line wrench on those and just disconnect them. Or i believe the whole set-up can come right out with the manifold when you take the manifolds off. Its been a while since i did mine so forgive me if this info is off a little.
