I have the AIR pump removed from my 88 5.0. Anyone know who makes an X pipe without air tube? I just don't want to have to haul one down to the shop to have it welded shut.


Thanks

have it welded shut it's cheaper. i cut the tube off mine, then cut a piece of the tube off, split it down side and opened it up and brazed that over hole. looks good and doesnt leak and cost nothing.

I was the opposite......I bought the UPR X-Pipe with Cats....and there was no hole for the air pump...(I kept mine on)

I had a guy custom weld a hole for me and connect up the pump............

But to answer your question, the UPR X-Pipe with Cats has no hole for the pump...

I did it hillbilly and threaded a 5/8-11 bolt inside of my tube. Tractor Supply sells huge taps for cheap (I think it was $10). Next time I pull the X off the car I'll have my buddy TIG it shut.

It will get you by though.

hmmm, not trying to steal the thread im just wondering if having this tube plugged but not knowing if i have an air pump or where it is cause bad idle surging and cause ur car to surge so bad it stalls or wont run?

On my midpipe i have the hose clamped to the tube and then in the other end of the hose i clamped in an old locking lug nut i had, fits perfect.

I think we both know the answer to that...
