I recently installed o/r xpipe and pypes violators on my 95 gt 5.0. I plugged the smog control tube that ran to the old cats. now I am getting a low roaring noise coming from the smog pump that increases with rpm. can I get a shorter belt and just bypass it without any damage?..thanks for any help

Yes there are 2 smog holes in the back of the heads they make plugs for them on latemodel restro. you will feel them when you rip everything out.

You dont need to get the plugs. What I did was break the ceramic off and old set of stock plugs and use that to plug the hole. Works perfectly.

Here is my question, what happens when you have to smog again, I just bought my 94 about a month ago and have been buyin all the stuff you want to pull off, when does smoging our stangs NOT need to be done?

Depends on the state. Here in MA, pre-1996 cars do not need to be smogged.

Regardless, I still have the smog equipment on my 88.

You will have to smog your car indefinitely. CA smog test exemptions are only valid on 1975 and older vehicles.
