alamantia | 04-12-2010 03:15 PM | Why would you remove AIR system? Dropped my car off last week to have some work done. When I got it back I noticed the AIR system (tubes going to headers) were gone and the flanges were blocked off. I paid extra for those headers a few years back to have the flanges for the air tubes. I asked where the hoses were and he told me he removed them. Im thinking, I wanted those so I woudnt get hassled at state inspection. I could almost understand it the reasoning had it been a smog pump driven by the assesory belt robbing the motor of some power but if its an electric pump thats only on for a few secionds when you start the car, what performance gains am I getting now that the hoses are removed? It escapes me why they removed the hoses. What am I missing here? |
