Jimmy rig aux port to air pump on 87

My aux ports were not plugged to my cat when i got the car. Cats were blocked and no emissions laws here so we removed all 3.

Im looking to get the pressure to open the ports from the air pump.
is there any info on this type of a 'jimmy rig'?

cheers

look at how the ports are actuated, then look at your air pump, youll figure it out

this question is for the people running this mod, when do the ports open off the air pump?? (rpm wise)

did you put in a resonator...if so...run the split-air pipe before it...this should give you enough back pressure to open up the aux ports...

apparently if u set it up with a valve, u can control what rpm causes the ports to open.

i didnt put a resonator. Anyone know a car that i can grab one from at the scrap that will make enough pressure, and still allow my car to sound badass.

cheers
