I broke some piece on the thermactor tube when I was removing my passenger side header. It's just after where the rubber connects to this metal piece and it threads into a second piece which then had metal tubes to the back of the heads. Should I fix it, leave it alone, or pull the crap off and be done with it? Dad doesn't want me to pull my emissions off even tho I have no cats but it's totally rigged right now. My air tube is worm drive clamped to my xpipe doing absolutely nothing, then I just broke that pos today. It does have to pass a visual inspection, but my dad has his inspection license and I passed my inspection classes so I could do it shortly even though I'd like it to be right. I'm just so frustrated having to work around that crap though I'm about to just cut it off. What do you guys think?
