Re: Any adverse effects to removing the AIR pump? Your catalytic converter needs the oxygen being injected into the manifold in order to work properly. Without it over time it will damage your catalytic converter affecting performance.

Re: Any adverse effects to removing the AIR pump? Yeah, your car won't make that cool wirring sound on start-up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
The air pump only comes on during start-up, and once in a blue moon while driving. My air-pump exhaust is disconnected, so I KNOW whenever it turns on.
I always thought that the air pump was for California emmissions regulations.... am I wrong on this one?
