I am putting on mac shorties unequal length, off road hpipe(what do I do with the air tube now, take if off completely and block the hole from the engine bay?) and I will be doing this in the next few days, what kind of increase should I see mph wise?
I put on some BBK long-tubes headers and Dr Gas offroad X-pipe, and here is what I did with the air tube: Unhooked the metal piece that connects directly to the old H-pipe, and leave everything where it is. I don't know if this is the RIGHT way to do it, but my car runs fine. The reason I didn't remove the smog crap is because I will eventually have to go through emissions and this way I can cut down the old H-pipe, bolt it up temporarily, and hook the air tube up. I would recommend putting on some long-tubes, because they are MUCH easier than a lot of people think they are to install. I will help you through the install if you decide to go the long-tube route.
