will it make my car not pass emissions if i took off the AIR fittings?? iv got a 84 TA 305,,gonna put a 355 in it,, just wondering if it would mess it up to take that darn air thing out..??i found a flowmaster system with a CATCO converter on it that i was thinkin bout getting,, but i dont know if it has the AIR on it or not,, im still tryin to find out.... anyhelp?

 

You definitely need the AIR fittings and all associated parts if you expect your car to pass emissions testing.

 

If you have visual inspection you'll most likely fail unless you can rig it up to look like they're there. If its just the sniffer you will most likely pass especially if you have a cat.

 

ok im getting 2 differant stories here....there are no visuals here,, only sniffer...

 

You will pass.

 

I agree with 88IROC. Just make sure you drive the car around and allow the cat to get heated up before you have it inspected.

 

so then i can do away with my AIR fittings on the headers to?? well i mean order them without them, that damn AIR thing is UGLY!!

 

I think the only emissions device you will need is a cat to pass the sniffer. Just run your engine really hot just before you go through so it burns off more emissions.

 

i wonder if i can get a pre emissions test at the place here. any ever heard of that being done before??...well that exaust that i found,, i desided not to get. i didnt want to pay what the price went up to on the auction, so ill stick with my original idea, hooker cat back, and SLP headers. hopefully buying the headers without the AIR thing wont be a bad idea!! iv said something to my dad about it, he keeps sayin "damnit, these cars are made to run with all of that emissions ****, if you take it off its gonna **** something up and your car wont run right!"

Your not takin' the AIR pump out are you? You can remove the fittings that go to the exhaust manifolds, but you need the pump to send air to the cat for it to work right, don't you? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

not the pump,, just the AIR fitted cat and headers....i thought that was all there was to it.. correct me if im wrong too!
