i need a smog pump to h-pipe tube that feeds air to the cats. 50resto and ford sell them but they are 100 bucks..... F-that....does anyone have one they will sell me? or is there anything i can use in its place like rubber hose?
help me, my bassani catted x pipe will be here soon.
I made one from 3/4" copper plumbing tubing for my wifes 95 GT... You can't use rubber tubing because the gasses are coming straight from the heads and are waaaaaay too hot...

I have a rubber hose on mine and no problems at all. I have a bbk h pipe and they sent a rubber hose with it, but it was to short so I went to pep boys and bought a longer piece it was 3/4 id.

I'll bet you have a short little piece of rubber hose running from the H-pipe to the smog pipe... My guess is that it does not run all the way from the heads down to the H-pipe... Not a problem with using a little piece to connect the smog tube to the H-pipe as the gasses have cooled significantly by the time they get down there, but it is hot as hell coming out of the heads... I tried three different "high-temperature" tubes and all melted... Maybe there is one, but I certainly could not find it....
Hmmmmmm... Perhaps I am having a foot in mouth moment.... It has been a year since I did this to my wifes car... But it seems to me that the smog tube doesn't run from the smog pump to the H-Pipe, but from the back of the heads to the H-Pipe...
Maybe we are talking about two different things...
The one that I am talking about has an EGR valve attached to it to allow exhaust gasses back into the manifold.... UGH!!! The car is in storage so I can't go out and look and all that crap is missing from my car!!!!!
i have my pipes blocked off on the back of my heads...so the only part of the hose that would get remotely hot would be near the h pipe. all i have is the smog pump and a 1 way check valve. im just hooking up the air pump to the cats so i dont destroy my new bassani catted x pipe.
when i took my stock pipe off i couldn't get the smog pump tube thing un attached so i pulled and pulled and got it out but it pulled like something on the end out too, was that attached to something that i need to block off or what?
