Removed cat, what to do about air line?

Ok, so i just installed the mazdatrix true duals on my car, and obviously the cat is gone, and so is the split air pipe... what i was wondering is what should i do about the hose that runs to the split air pipe... i was thinking just of plugging it up... but i dont know if that would mess something else up or not.

im sure there are a lot of other s5 owners out there who kept the airpump for 6th port and vdi acuation, what did you do with the split air hose?

yeah, the place where you have the line coming out i put a plug... because on yours the exaust pressure opens the ports, whereas mine uses the airpump... so i didnt need that line running up
