my friend regretted getting the AIR tube option.
we were in his car, and i said, "hey, i can hear a exhaust leak"
we get to his house and look underhood... the AIR pipe in the #1 exhaust port had started to come off.. you could see the blue fire going down the exhaust pipe.
he ended up breaking it off and having someone weld over teh hole...
plus, EVERYONE i know with headers, has eventually taken the AIR off.. so they now have useless tubes with blockoff plates.
just stay two steps ahead and get it without AIR... remove the pump. delete the codes in the PCM, and you'll be set. even if they look underhood, its not like it looks like something is missing.. the engine obviously doesnt have a "smog pump"....

where i am there may be a hard time passing emissions, but like someone said - there is no smog pump to be seen, so if some tubes were removed nobody would really know...Just make sure you're EGR and Cats are there if you want to pass...I can't get inspected because I have no EGR on my 01...but it's listed in emissions control devices that it's supposed to be there
