Default Help please.. What is this?

Good morning, recently picked up a 96 Formula WS6... As you can see it needs some TLC... Please tell me exactly what this is and where i can find the OEM replacement. Not looking to do headers, just go back to the factory look. Thanks in advance...


Pics of OEM part with description would be great...

That is the AIR system, or at least what's left of it. Sorry, I don't have pics or part numbers for the factory arrangement, but those aftermarket hoses are hooked up to the factory AIR pipe on the manifold so a GM diagram of that system should give you what you need.

That's stupid emissions crap. Don't worry about it if it isn't throwing a code.

Pretty awesome backyard repair. That's supposed to be a molded rubber hose for the AIR injection, GM part # 12554927. Probably discontinued. I'd look for one in a junkyard or find someone on here that's deleted and held onto all their emissions stuff. I think the 96-97 is molded differently though, has a "U" shape and then goes down to the metal pipe running down along the front of the engine.
