cat removed with mid pipe
Just removed the cat with a mid pipe but I still have the pipe that used to connect to the catalist, my question is what do I do with it ?
a. leave it like that
b. put a plate over it with bolts and nuts
thanks for your assistance guys...

that would be the airpump hose I assume
I would just leave it sit there because where is the air going to go if you block it off? Before it was going into the cat and out of the exhaust.
I took mine totally off because I removed the air pump and got the blue greddy pulleys.

You can also disconnect the electrical connector to your Air Pump so it's not working but just sitting there in the pully system...actually you could remove it and use a 4row 29.5" belt.

There are no ill effects from running a 4 rib belt vs 5.
I've been running no Air pump for 2 years now.
If you put the mid pipe on, which you should if you remove your airpump, and you still have the factory ECU, make sure you put a restrictor plate in it. Remember it's the flow of the air through the motor and not just the PSI being limited to 10 or 11 on the factory ECU

I have been wanting to dump teh air pump but I just don't know what to do. I have a gutted main cat but the air pump is still there. I would like to do it without getting the pulleys. I have gone to an auto parts store and they can't get me a belt just by size. It has to be of a certian car so they can look it up or be there all day measuring belts. Any one know a car that uses a 29.5" 4 rib belt? About the restrictor plate, I don't have any idea where to add it, is it screwed in or welded? Always been a picture guy.

From what I understand it would be screwed in either of the places noted with an R...
[DP] R [MP] R [CB] it's not a picture but it should help
My questions is,
- what do you usually make it out of?
- How thick?
- Does the exhaust gasket sit beside it?
- and what diameter hole (2.75", 2.5", 2") would you start with for my mods?...FMIC, DP, CB, PFC, EYPipe.

i re-read the post and i missed the greedy pully kit... how much is it and what is their web page??
Restrictor plates can be put in between the dp and the mp OR the mp to the cb...

i do think it is safe to run the stock cat without the airpump... so as long you plug the hole!! mine, i disconnect all the pipe, coming to the LIM and going to the cat... cover the holes with a BOP...

Go to Autozone and see if they have one of the following belts.
Kelly/Springfield
295k5- 5 Ribs
295k4- 4 Ribs
Goodyear Gatorback
4050295- 5 Ribs
4040295- 4ribs
Those are the part numbers so they should not need to look anything up besides checking inventory.
