Removed Air System...issues?

I am pretty sure that my air system has been tuned out, but if it hasn't, what issues will I see removing the entire system? I put block off plates on my headers to prevent issues there. Just curious.

Thanks,

Micah

The AIR system is designed to heat the cats up during cold starts...will not affect performance, but will throw a code unless you disable with LS1Edit or EFI live or??

Check the PCM Diagnosis section...there are many threads on this

Yea it defiantly will throw a code unless disabled but will be worth it just to have the extra space in the engine bay. Has absolutely no effect on performance.

Take that crap out of there and also be sure to pull the fuse.

Yes, it is definately something that you should WANT do, though not a necessity. It is located in the engine bay fuse panel. If you do not pull it, you will continue to hear it run. So, pull it out and you won't hear it any longer.
