Header Install help
i just installed my headers along with y pipe and cats
the AIR and EGR are not connected therefore it does not sound loud at all
the air is coming out from the headers from the holes where the hoses connect
can i just block these 3 holes up?? (2 on passenger and 1on drivers side)

If you installed and ORY and went catless then use the block off plates and remove the egr and air pump system completely! It frees up front end weight and cleans up the engine bay!

why didnt you just buy the race style headers?? they dont have those fittings so you wouldnt have this problem if you bought the race style. but speedinc sells the block off plates if you need them also you will need to pull the air pump fuse if you got that stuff all out.

He is running Macs with cats. The last I heard if he had hooked the egr and air up and the ses light is flashing. Maybe a plug wire off.
