Default emissions

Can you bypass the emisions on a 95 like you can on a fox body? How would you do it. Thanks for the help guys.

the 5.0 in a 95 is identical basically to the foxes 5.0 so yes.

take the smog and egr stuff off and block it off. its a legal but it gives you a few more horses. don't do it if you have emissions test in your city

That means to remove all the factory equipment that (attempts) to clean the smog that belches from the tailpipes of our gas-hogs.

Seriously, the gain of a couple horses is not worth making the car stinkier than it already is by design. There are plenty of other mods that build power that you can do without removing the emmissions equipment. Plus, if you ever move to a state that tests the cars, you'll not be a happy camper.

i didnt want to do it for extra horses. I installed a new exhaust and it sounded good..then i got a leak somewhere and when i hit the gas good you hear a whistling and a bunch of air instead of the deep roar it use to have. So idk im trying to figure out what it is. Its right around the alternator

MJR. i'm still confused when you say the ecm will automatically delete the egr function when you remove it, cuz when i remove it, it did not, it threw a codes. i had to leave egr on but just no vacuum. i know you can buy the kit with the plug, is that what your talking about? maybe i'm missing something?
