i was curious on what to do on how to remove some emission stuff.
i have a 94 gt and there is that steel tube or whatever running from the header
to the intake and i was wondering how to plug those holes up and if it will really give me any power back
thanks

That would be your egr. You can take the tube out and plug the two caps off with pennies. Thats how the person that owned my car prior to me did it and it works just fine. If you do that you should remove your smog pump too. And doing so might throw a code (when you plug your egr), you may have to do some tuning to your ecu or get a chip or something. But with the power , it goes both ways i guess, it could be good but it can be bad if your not careful with it. It can lead to pinging sometimes.

The EGR and smog pump are parts of separate systems.

Neither one removes a noticable amount of horsepower, nor is either used at WOT, and given the amount of issues people can have when removing them (esp the EGR - the A.I.R. system doesnt create much for issues when removed), I'd recommend to keep them unless you are going to tune the car.
