you need all of that, and those wires should be on the car already unless someone cut them off completely. the other tube you asked about doesn't go the throttle body i think it goes to the back of both cylinder heads. There is a vacuum line that goes to the egr valve, if you have that vac line then you prob have the tab and tad solenoids and wiring check. the tab tad solenoids are mounted behind the pass. side shock tower check to see if you have them, they should have small vacuum lines coming from them. does your car run? how does it run?

so are you getting the shorty h-pipe or the stock h and headers. nothing connects to the headers so dont worry

about that,the only thing that goes to the exhaust is a tube, and that is connected to the short or regular h pipe

no, it wont pass visual without it, im guessing its not on
the back of the heads what heads are you running? stock?
internally, there are holes in each exhaust port that lead to a single hole in the back of each head
, those holes are for the tube.
