You'll clog your cats, if you haven't already.

You won't notice anything straight away, but it will eventually clog your cats and lose power as a result. This takes a few months.

you need the air pump to pass emissions, if you continue to run without pump you'll clog your cats and then you woun't be able to pass emissions even if you put it back on, you cat will be bad. Just put it back on if it's you daily driver if it's track car then remove whole emissions.

Damn tree haters :-)

PS: in 70's there was a big thing when you removed emission junk from V8 cars you acctually gain some RWHP but technology is now way improved so emision doesn't effect RWHP no more.
