Question About Air Tube in Cat

Does anyone know if a universal 3-way cat without the air injection tube can be modified for air injection?

Thanks

Re: Question About Air Tube in Cat

Well what's the purpose?

Are you doing it so that you actually introduce air into the catalytic converter to provide a more complete combustion of exhaust gasses?

Or just to pass a visual inspection?

All in all I don't know whether it can be done fully functionally. I'm not sure whether non-AIR cats are designed the same way. But if you're just trying to pass a visual inspection I doubt that it matters. You could just weld up some metal tubing to it in order to make it look as if it has a properly functioning AIR system.

Somebody else should probably jump in here.
