Hey guys, long time no post but anyways...
I got a 97 F250 with the 460 (7.5L) and i have a bad exhaust leak at the drivers side manifold. My mechanic knows he can change it but is worried about destroying the A.I.R/EGR pipes in the process...
I know the EGR pipe is easy to come by but the crossover for the A.I.R is impossble to find. I was told and read defeating this system (i live in MI so no emission test) wont cause any ill effects. I had to replace my belt on that side anyways so i yanked the pully off the A.I.R pump and put on a shorter belt. All seems to be fine but ive only ran it about 10 miles.
Will i do any kind of damage to the cat, or throw a check engine on with this stuff disabled/removed? If i have to i guess i could drop some money to have a custom pipe made but id rather not because in a 2 or 3 yrs i got my sights on a superduty. But with the exhaust leak its cooking my back plug wire and i often use this truck to tow relativly long distances.
Any help is apperciated.
