smog system

I was trying to install headers on my Fox body. I broke 3 hard plastic lines coming from the smog system. Can I take all the lines out and which ones do I need to plug off? When we installed the xpipe the smog system was not hooked up any way so can remove the hoses?

Re: smog system

If you come out to the shop this weekend, we'll show you what needs to be done as far as removal.

Re: smog system

Those damn things get so brittle. Italian, you might want to put the solution/diagram in the FAQ section?

another question I can't remember what the xpipe looked like before but does it ride lower than the factory it drug a little yesterday I did not notice it before I tell you I almost sold that sucker yesterday. Seems like it had dropped allittle but I am crawling under it today to get a better look at it.
