No It's not Impotant. You still have to have the Auxilliary Ports functionable. Although you are free to do as you may, please don't "wire them open". You really lose more than you gain IMO. You may wanna try this. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=121833

Ok lets set this straight:
All TIIs: only need air pump to supply fresh air to cat
86-88 NAs: only need air pump to supply fresh air to cat
89-91 NAs: need air pump to supply fresh air to cat, but cat also opens the aux. ports(ie: 5th & 6th ports)

you might not have enough exhuast back pressure to open them.

Actually, from what I've seen, most exhausts have enough to make it work, but you'll need some kind of tube to connect the exhaust to the actuators. RB has their presilencer which comes with the tube attached. Not worth the $$$ for that piece if you ask me.
The smog pump can also be rigged to make the 6 ports work and not have any other function. I'm runing that set up right now but think it might be more weight saving to go with backpressure opperation and just make the flange to tap the exhaust and fit it in between the test pipe and header.
