Should I remove the airpump?

Why do I need it? Shouldn't I just remove it?

Removal of airpump will cause a rich condition during idle, and you will (1) clogg you cat if you still have it, (2) ruine some of your fuel milage in town, (3) have semi irratic idle. Try it just disconnect the plug that turns the pump on, drive it for a week, and see how you like it... if you allready removed the cat, otherwise you'll most likely need a new cat after that week.

Well I am running a high-flow cat so I guess I will just leave it until I get a midpipe.
