Well we got my headers installed over the weekend.. bout 17 hours and that was with 3ish people!! Half the night we spend running the new plugs in the STOCK location. The passenger side is one hell if a bitch. Rerouted them 3 times to get them away from the pullies. and then had a problem with the y pipe and the exhaust being to close to the driveshaft.

Anyways. The question was.

I don't have air or erg fitting and we removed the ERG plate/tube thing bent it and filled it so it would close and put it back on to cap it off.

NOW the hose(s) for the AIR on both sides is still there and they are blowing out hot air once the engine is warm. He told me to just plug them if they were still blowing hot air.

Is it ok to just plug those up or should i take them all off and get a plate for it?
Also will that make me lose a great deal of power since i guess its considers an air leak??

 

If you're not going to use it, just take it off

It is, among other things, 7lbs straight off the front of your car

 

Yea Guess i might just have to take it off then.

That just setting there blowing air would that cause me to loss some power or not though?

 

To my knowledge, it shouldn't have an effect, the motor is electric and just adds air to the exhaust to help the cats while they're not warmed up yet.

 

thats how mine is, and i was wondering the same thing.

 

I'm removeing that stuff right now it's a pain. I'm thinking of cutting it to make it easier on me because I can't find my big damn pry bar for some reason??
