If you do it make sure you are outside and do not breathe any of the dust.
The dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer.
I used an impact hammer and wore a respirator.
Also be careful with the clean-up. make sure you get it all cause it could kill an animal if it was to be eaten.

rx7docter does it really hurt 2 wire them open?? i have heard from many people to not wire them open. I know you can hook them up 2 a small air pump but how do you go about getting them 2 open at just the right rpm?

You can get really complicated and hook them up to a RPM switch that opens vacuum at the correct RPM but that's not worth the effort.

pt ray its probly ur 5th and 6ths not working i can tell when mine dont and dont work. doc i have them on my smog pump but they dont open at the right time and stay up for a while after the gas is released so it sucks. hmm well i got another idea how about putting the redline light/buzzer down and disabling the buzzer and hooking it up to somthing else...but again thats probly not worth it...how bad does it affect my low end if i wire them open?

Someone needs to explain to me how a presilencer offers the back pressure to open the ports while a gutted cat does not. Both are straight through, the presilencer is just insulated to absorb noise.

Alright, now this has me curious. A carbed system I can pretty much understand how it works, but my knowledge of EFI systems is severely lacking.
How does port opening get timed by the exhaust backpressure and why does it even need to be set up that way? Apparently this only happens with two of the ports, which I can kinda halfway come up with a guess as to why that would be, but anybody want to expound on this?
