air tube question

[ajp91gt]

just got a set of mac equeal length headers and off road x pipe. question is the pipe has no provision for the air tube. what is the easiset way to correct this. thanks in advance.also im not bound by any emissions laws if that helps. thanks

thats the point of an off road pipe. no cats, so you dont need to pump air into the exhaust to increase the catalyzation of your emissions. i'd just remove all the tubing and the pump, plug the back of your heads, and just run a shorter belt on your accessories.

every off road pipe I have ever installed had a air tube provision they always get used for the moroso e-vac system

my bbk had one too, but i guess i didnt say what i meant properly. i just meant that if you buy an off road pipe, you usually wouldn't want that stuff hooked up anyways (since it's pointless without any cats), so its not a big deal...

i guess if you really wanted one on there, all you'd have to do is cut a hole, and weld a little piece of pipe on to hook your tubing back up to it...

ok...stupid question, what do you have to do to "plug" the heads?

when you unbolt the tubing there will be a hole in the heads you have to plug. you can use a broken off spark plug, or a 5/8x11tpi bolt to plug it. you could also flip the 'blocks' on the tubing 180* and bolt them back on.
