I've got to ask -- why do you want to do this, and what are you trying to achieve?

good answer. for a minute there I thought you might say something like, "to increase performance." you know, you can accomplish the same without screwing around with all the emissions stuff - just my 2-cents.



...but then again, it is your car -

I would make sure it functions properly and leave it in place, but I am of the opinion that clean air is not some sort of conspiracy, and is actually a good thing.

Its just a question. Global warming is a conspiracy. There is no real data outside of computer models. Nothing but politics. Stop listening to npr and do your own research or sell your vette and buy a prius so you can walk the talk.

Personally i preferr the smell of muscle behind my vette over the smell off starbucks and flowers from inside a hybrid lololol just having some fun

1994 is the year of my car.

I actually want a prius. One with a 6000hp supercharged hemi that runs on nitro methane and has open headers that stick out the roof sort of like a monster truck. Then I want to pull up next to every other electric car owner and yell out the window "Are you getting good mileage ? Hows your mileage ?".

You may not like the aroma w/o that system, IF your car ends up smelling anything like mine! Not as bad as nitro, but..... Now that (I think) I have the engine dialed in, I am looking to reactivate that system.

I don't hug trees but like them as back scratchers. When does Prius season open?

M22 plugs for exhaust manifold. EGR block off plate for 1995 Camaro(ebay) One rubber cap for air cleaner. I removed pump and hoses and just sealed off electrical connector for AIS and EGR, you will also need to have some one deactivated the system in the ECM so you don't have a check engine light. Makes the engine bay cleaner and easier to work on.

1) How do you know it's a conspiracy? Are you listening to scientists or politicians? You are the one who should be thinking.

2) Clean air is abut far more than global warming, it's about cancer, COPD, asthma, plant life, and soil quality. Where do you think those solids settle?

3) Sacrificing someone else's air quality so that your engine bay can look "cleaner" is pretty darn selfish. Not the kind of person we want to hear lectures from about conspiracies. Do yourself a favor- put the work you'd invest ripping this stuff off toward cleaning up your engine bay the right way, and making sure your car is in an optimal state of tune, which will be cleaner AND help performance.

i'm really not a tree hugger, and I don't want to stir up any more "poop," BUT . bottom line on automotive emissions, is todays engines are way more efficient, than they were before "clean" engine bays - today, more HP, more torque, better fuel economy, etc, etc, etc.. its a win-win. today, we got 4-cylinder turbos that run damn near as good as old school muscle cars.

"scientists" aww the preachers of global warming. How about some facts instead of emotional feelings. "97% of scientists" do your self a favor and look up where that came from. I have and no i wont do you research for you. fACT!!! It was a survey that at the end, wound up being 700 something "earth scientists" that were litterally picked from 10k scientists. Thats a fact... You can spew spin all you want but that is a fact. Some of the biggest pushers of this religion of warming have been caught in emails and recordings saying how this was nothing more then a push to tax and control. Thats a fact.... Thats not my opinion its a fact. A little research on any website other then huffington post, slate or the the daily beast would confirm that. Fact one volcano eruption lets out more co2 then Humans combined... Thats a fact. How many volcanoes in the last 20 years have gone off? Quite a few. But hey dont be bothered by facts. Spin it with "your lying" and "those were proven wrong" bla bla bla. News flash.... Vegitation thrives on c02 check out a study done in new york about the growth of the trees in central park because of the positive effects of the c02 around them. What we really need is politicians making more laws telling us what we can and cant do with our cars, law mowers and ohh thoughts lolol ya that would be the answer. Ted cruze ripped that liberal whack job a new one about the satilite data showing "no significant change in temperature for the last 20 years" and what was his reply lol you know lolol tell ya what, change the arguement towards me and my grammer or something(typing on my phone) to redirect instead of doing some honest unbiased research about "global warming" .... Oops im sorry that phrase didnt fit the religous agenda i mean "climate change" all that ice build up at the poles... Dont let that sway your faith. Find an article about how its ocean ice vs land ice from "eco watch" or some other liberal poo site and put it on here showing me to be an idiot (i have two seperate degrees both in science) or quote a scientist who getting paid HUGE grant money to do research(computer models) on it lololololol news flash a computer only does ..... Yup you guessed it.... What you tell it to i know crazy right lolol this was fun lol now im going to go breath and do my part at destroying the world lol

I feel so much better now that someone who doesn't know "then" from "than" has explained the brilliance of Ted Cruz and the vast left wing conspiracy to fake climate change data.

Isn't there some other forum for off topic bs political rants?!?

As for the original post, I think there is a special place in hell for people who molest their Corvette.

Might just as well toss religion into the mix.

Thanks Bubba. Too bad you do not know the difference between CO and CO2, and you clearly have no idea what NOX means. If we listened to folks like you we would still have lead in our motor fuels- a poison to the human system which cannot be accepted as a conspiracy by even the most obtuse.
