!AIR... what are the benefits???

As mentioned, does !AIR benefit any in power production, or is it more to clean up the engine bay and reduce weight???

No more lights flickering when the pump cycles, passenger side plugs a little easier to get to.

Yeah, it will throw a code, but you can get it tuned out. The code wont hurt anything though, just an annoying SES light.

Yes it will throw a code. Just get a tuner to delete the codes after you remove the AIR system..

Last I heard it was around $50 but I'm not positive about that. Maybe somebody who's had it done could chime in.
