2 questions Question 1: I'm thinking of getting some Hooker LT's to put on as my exhaust manifold gasket is gone, is there any place that i could grab a Catted Y Pipe for it? i've got a flowmaster cat-back on right now. (i wouldnt mind adding a QTP electric cutout as well, where would be the best place on the exhaust to add the cutout?)
Question 2: My AIR system is acting oddly, It's works (i guess) and sounds fine on a cold start. but if the car is shut off and left for a few min then started back up, then there is a loud whining noise that turns on/off with the AIR system. I've had my car for a few months now with no problem with it, 2 days ago it started doing this. Could it be the AIR pump? if so, how much would one cost and is it an easy DIY job?
Thanks guys,
Matt

as much as i would like to remove it, they are a bit more strict over here with emissions (like you cant even drive a car unless it passes a full emissions test, including the real oldie cars) so i would just like to fix it for now :/
It's more than likely your air pump....sometimes they mess up and will squeal while the car is running. It's pretty easy to replace, just unbolt it and disconnect the hoses to remove it. You can usually find them on ebay pretty cheap, $10-$15 I believe.
The only catted Y-pipe I can think of off the top of my head is from Texas Speed. I believe there are others that make them, I just can't think of any others right now.
