That pos air pump is annoying. Annoying when its on and it was annoying to uninstall.

I broke on corner off of it because I couldn't get that last damn screw out. I punted that ****.

So, no actual sniffer test for NC, right? Was wanting to get rid of my AIR pump and all the crazy hoses that get in the way but guess I'll keep it if they check for it.

well in hope mills they jsut do the computer check, no visual. but id ditch it anyway, i found you and me a a shop that will give us stickers for 40 bucks. love to meet up w/ ya sometime too since yur moving here

What a double-standard bastard! I definitely agree about ditching the AIR. It only helps emisions while you're warming up and without cats it's especially useless. I ditched that along with EGR when I put on my LT's.

keep your AIR pump in your pocket, and when the tech asks where it is show him.

I loved taking the hoses associated with the air pump off. It made the engine bay so much cleaner. My air pump still resides on the car, but it has been unplugged, and codes deleted. I actually forgot it was still on the car until this thread. Once I found it, I realixed it was not really any kind of weight reduction, and you can not really see it anyway. So I would take the hoses off and save them, but save yourself some time and leave the pump on.

Do you have a learning disorder? You're BANNED, we will just continue to ban you.


You're more than welcome to come back and continue posting under your original name in two short weeks. During that time, I suggest you learn to stop posting non-sponsor bullshit. You can practice on a different board untill then.
