Umm... all I was asking about was the AIR system in respect to fuel economy/length of cat life. So let's keep it to that.
So I ask again... how do the life of the cats suffer from no AIR system?
And let's add another question: after the car is warmed up, does the AIR system help any? CMNTMXR57 said that the AIR system reduces emissions. But does it help when the engine is warm? If the AIR system has been on for more than 240 seconds, it shuts off, so it's obviously not running all the time.

[QUOTE=00454sscamaro]if its, as you say pumping inert gases into the combustion chamber. wouldnt that diminish reasons for having a 5.7 if i wasn't getting all of my 5.7l of combustion chamber dedicated to making power???[/quote[
At only part throttle you aren't getting the full 5.7 llitres anyhow, not in effective terms. And at WOT EGR doesn't operate.

but as for me. until some proof on the whole bad gasses and there negative or even noticible effects can be proven. either way i continue to not like the tree 's

If you want some general info on cats check out Random Technology's website it has loads of usful info. You should be able to find it via Google.
