Default AIR System - Help

Going to put on headers that don't have AIR tubes. Should I block off the car tubes or remove the whole AIR system ? Will it throw codes if I do remove the system ?

Thanks for the help.

If you dont have tubes on the headers, the system is worthless and YES it will throw codes unless you have them programmed out with tuning software.

You can and should remove the entire system.

If your state inspection requires the system to be operable and present, you might want to consider that aspect though.

Yep! You either need to have someone with EFI Live , HP Tuners etc... to program that function out of your PCM or Purchase the soft ware and do it your self. Thats it. No secret stuff. You cant go to Walmart and purchase anything to fake it out. It needs to be removed from the emissinns records inside the PCM.
