ACV block off plate
What are the pros/cons of blocking off the air control valve? I know a couple of people here have done it.
Will it still be fine with the converters and other emission systems?

when i bought my car, the air tube on the main cat was messed up, so me and my dad blocked it off, and blocked off the tube going to it. my car runs 18.1's and thats probably because of a clogged cat. i know your remove all the stuff when you go with a header and aftermarket cat. infact, my racing beat header came with the block off plates and screws to remove the air pump and block it off. visually, i dont see anything wrong with my exhaust, there is alot of heat that comes from under the car when it is just sitting and running, but im sure thast with any car. like i said, i have the stock exhaust right now, with no air tube going to the main cat, and i havent noticed anything except for a noisy heat shield.
edit: the header isnt installed. the whole system is stock

Well I got your money today, so the one that will bypass the front 2 will be on its way. The middle one you just cut out, have an exhaust shop make a pipe. TELL THEM the dimensions of the pipe and what you need the ends flared too, dont tell them you are making it to remove the cat, they probally wont help you then. Then go home and weld the pipe on Remove the air pump, ACV, and the little valve at the back of the inatke manifold... Its not very loud like that with stock muffler and **** Enjoy destroying the enviroment LOL
