Default AIR delete after headers?

Recently installed 1 3/4 TSP headers. Took the AIR tubes off install and didnt reinstall them. Do these need to be reinstalled? OK to be left off?

That depends, do you need them for emissions requirements where you live?
The car will do perfectly fine without them, your engine bay will look better without them, working on your engine will be easier, and your car will be lighter without them (albeit only a pound or something ). If you don't need them legally, you can remove the AIR pump in the left front bumper section too for a little more weight savings.

Engine fault codes may set without it, but if you're getting headers, you're probably getting a tune, so you can have the AIR tuned out as well.

Feel free to call, email, or PM us anytime with questions!

Whatever you do, DO NOT THROW THOSE EMISSIONS PARTS AWAY!!!!

I just spent $800 for just the air lines connecting each exhaust bank. That DOES NOT include the air pump.

These parts are getting harder and harder to find. If you don't need them in your state, sell them, AT A REASONABLE PRICE, to someone that does.

Thanks !
