shouldn't that go to the air pump?
it will be OK but I don't think the cat will run as hot, or effectively.

you should have it for your cat to work to its full catalytic convertability. it should be connected to the check valve circled in the pic.

Honestly have you ever known pipes falling off to be a good sign? Anyways, it works your check valve. We all like check valves =]

you also need that pipe for ur N/A to open up the 5th and 6th ports, unless you run the tube taking the pressure to open them into something else, like the ACV relief line

I thought that if take your air pump off while still you still have your cat on, you would melt the car and clog it up.
