I'm converting my 89 coupe to true duals/headers/hi-flow cats/B&B cans/x-pipe...

Do I need teh air tubes in my converters? I do have to pass sniffer and visual.

If you are removing the cats, then I don't see why you would need the air tubes. A.I.R. pump can be removed as well.

A.I.R. is a part of the smog system. How can you take it off and pass the visual?

Why are you trolling a legitimate thread? Do you have so much time on your hands, that you feel you need
to ***** your post count up by jumping on people asking questions?

It's clear that he does it intentionally for some twisted reason.

That's why I said what I did. He's admitted to doing it on purpose in another thread.

You know, you guys are right....I should be exactly like you, not an individual. That way, I would know it all,
and wouldn't have to ask questions in my own thread....

Let me ask a question....why do you folks care how I spell? Show me
where my punctuation or spelling is in question anywhere else, and I'll
conform to your rules, since my spelling has affected you so deeply in
my thread-not yours, my own. Oh, that's right, some of us just
started, and can't wait to get their post count up high enough to be
recognized as an authority...

Didn't your mama's teach you, that if you don't have something
constructive to say, not to say anything at all?

Maybe you feel that I should go away simply because you don't approve
of teh way I spell one simple word to have fun...

Walk it off....

What was that noise?

I think it's the baby crying, dear.

P.S. The plural of mama is mamas.

Wow! I can't believe something so small as a three letter word can get some of you guys so rattled that you need to follow someone around from post to post complaining. You admit that it bothers you, yet you keep reading the OP threads and complaining.

He admits he does it to screw with people. If we all ignore him, he will go away.
