Should I remove the air pump? Hi all,
I have a 99 WS6 with 110k miles, I recently started getting SES codes from the secondary air injection system, (air pump).
I've been reading that most people just remove the system and delete those engine codes.
Are there any cons to removing the air pump system?
Thanks!

Hi, I had the same problem, and removed mine (and deleted the codes with hptuners). The only difference you will notice is some unburnt gas smell for the first few minutes you start your car. Otherwise no probs!

Now time to take it all out.
should free up some space! 
pull it all out air pump and egr. definitly a waste of space. you will not notice any difference in performance. just smell sometimes when i decelerate to a stop light since i pulled it all note i never had cats. so from no cats to then no air/egr the smell can be bad

deleting EGR/AIR/CATS/front o2's will all cause a SES light but if u have a tuner or deltle them from the computer then the SES light will be off an it will pass the ''LIGHT" test, if they check your exhaust pipe u will most likely fail.
rear o2s you mean. and surprisingly with no emmissions in my car i stuck the sniffer in to see what i was at and surprisingly it wasnt high enough to fail at idle.
