Cat AIR leak

On my Cat the AIR pipe has broken off right at the CAT. What is the simplest way to fix this?

Get it welded at the muffler shop or weld it yourself if you can.

Re: Cat AIR leak

What is the best way to eliminate the whole system, and can I use the smog pump as a poor man's forced air induction system?

Tear it all out then and plug the holes in the exhaust manifold. You're not gonna gain anything.

Re: Cat AIR leak

What about the pump? Take it off, leave it on, what size belt should I get, or do I need a pulley?
