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.

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...

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.
