Injuneer, Shoebox, converting LTs to air/egr

I have set of Hooker Long Tubes, they were used on a race car before mine and have hook ups on each primary, how could I convert these to a 93 air EGR set up or how could I go about that? would it be possible if I some how got the right size fititng to adapt the air/egr stuff on to these, what is that by the way? Thats a picture of the headers.

I doubt the car would pass emissions even if you did make the EGR work. But if you get a set of 3rd gen camaro headers and chop the AIR fittings off them. One the 3rd gens the air pump feeds each primary like your headers are already tapped for. Then you can weld the AIR tubes off the 3rd gen headers onto yours and it might work. Just an idea that could work.

I have every thing for my car on it right now, as its all stock, if I flange some cats in to the Y pipe, I cant see why it wouldnt pass. I see long tubes with air/egr fittings and all the shorties have them, just trying to figure out a way so I can keep that stuff for inspection time.

I honestly don't know the details of the 93 AIR routing/connections, so I doubt I could help you. Those headers are set up with EGT bungs, and you should be able to adapt your stock tubing to work with them. I'm always leary of injecting air so close to the exhaust valves, because reversion can provide enough air to burn the valves. Since the AIR pump only runs for a couple minutes at startup, it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the input, I would only be hooking it up for smog testing once a year. I'm really leary about getting stickers from people.
