Default AIR for ORP?

Does anyone know if you can still have your AIR hooked up if you have headers and OR pipes?

Yes, but as you may have guessed it won't be doing anything. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Yes, if you buy a header set that has the appropriate fittings for the AIR hose flanges on each side. Same goes for the EGR (unless it's a 2001 or 2002 ... no EGR).

On a mildly modified car it's certainly easier to just use a header that keeps those systems intact (so you don't have to screw around with PCM programing to make things run right... if they're removed).

Here's a long tube header with both AIR & EGR fittings....

ok, i have a couple of questions regarding AIR
i know absolutely nothing about AIR or EGR
what is the purpose of AIR, isnt it something to do with keeping the cats cool or something?
anyways, im about to put headers w/ORP on my car, and i'de rather just weld up the air holes, and be done with it
what happens if you just yank all that crap out before going into the PCM and deleting it?
does it just turn on the SES, or does it actually mess stuff up?

AIR helps the cats heat up quicker to reduce emissions at cold start.

It just sets an SES light, that's it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
