Default Air pump

Where do you plug the air-pump hoses when you have Un-catted Kook's Headers and X-pipe.

I think they were originally plugged in the manifold?

thanks

Since you are not emissions legal anyway, just remove the air pump from the car.

^ I agree it makes the engine bay SO much cleaner looking and even saves a few pounds.

Ya, one of my plans this winter. Got to remove the intake to get the air tubes though i believe?

I just turned my air pump off for now with hp tuners.

You don't have to remove the intake. I got to that bolt on the back of the driver's side head reasonably easy. I did remove the brake booster hose and the braided fuel line. It's just a single 13mm bolt. 1/4" ratchet with a 13mm deep socket was the perfect fit for mine.

Ok I'll remove the AirPump.
But what about the checkEngine Light that is "on" since the headers installation?

Check engine is normally for the rear o2s. You will need to have them tuned out.
