Air Pump Question

My air pump is fairly loud and doesnt sound good. Problem arised when I installed my Apexi intake...I was wondering if I could just disconnect it and leave it disconnected...if it is only for emmisions than that shouldnt be a problem...or does it serve another purpose for the car?

You remove it, your main cat will be toast soon. That's where the mid-pipe comes in (before you toast your main cat.) However that is emissions illegal and, in addition, if you want it done right - you should have your wastegate ported to prevent boost creep with intake/dp/mp/cb.
