Default AIR system?

What exactly does the AIR system do? How does it help your emissions?

it forces air into the exhaust manifolds of your car to help the catalynic converters do their job more effetively. however, it really doesn't do a thing for performance ( probably hurts it if anything). remove it whenever you can that what i'm going to do.

Im pretty sure removing it will make your cats fail a little sooner than they should. But if you dont care about emmisions you will probably get rid of those one day...so go for it
