Re: A.I.R system question

Depends on your state/county inspection. Some of us can yank all the AIR stuff out without issue. Some of us have to retain it to pass inspection. Check local laws.

If required to keep, then you need headers that are emissions compliant with the AIR tubes. If not, then you can get headers without the tubes, and remove the smog pump and the AIR lines.
