one runs up from your exhaust, and one runs to the back of your heads

I just blocked mine off with plugs in the rubber lines

youll have to make a plate for the back of each head, i used 1/8" steel cut to about 1.5"x1.5" then drilled a hole for the bolt. after that just block off the small tube that comes from the cats so your exhaust doesnt leak

your not supposed to delete it when you have cats because "they" say the cats will clog, but when i took my smog system out i found that the vacuum sollenoids were crackedandlooked like they had been for a while,meaning the system hadnt been working for thousands of milesyet my cats are in perfect shape. Anyway my point isi wouldntbother removing the cats

I've heard the cats wont actually clog and that the pump is just there to get the cats up to operating temp faster so the car polutes less in warm-up mode.
