RE: Air Bypass Valve???
Air bypass valve: (ABPV or ABV) a backfire-suppressor valve used in air injection systems. During high engine vacuum conditions such as deceleration, it vents pressurized air from the air pump to the atmosphere in order to prevent backfiring. At other times, it sends air to the exhaust manifold. On vehicles with a three-way catalyst, it sends air to the oxidation catalyst only when the engine warms up. Also called an anti-backfire valve, diverter valve, or gulp valve.
And as far as passing smog, if they pop the hood and its not there, you will fail.

Removing all the smog stuff is somwhat simple if you have basic know how but like Hawk said if you need to pass emissions and this aint there you wont be leavin a happy guy.. If you really need and want to replace and keep it stock I think i still have all my smog stuff in storage let me know if youd want it and we can make it happen.

I don't care about visual.Do you know if I bypass it, will it make my emissions worse?
