Default Removing Secondaries...should I or should I not

Not for everyone but I never seem to hear of anyone ever putting them back in?????
So....you removed the secondaries violently....what.....were you upset at something

I actually left the secondaries in my 90' as it only takes a few minutes to fix whatever is under the Plenum since I have TB coolant totally and professionally removed. Removing Plenum (including the 10 minute Plenum Removal)

If you are going to remove the secondaries I would REMOVE the secondaries and not tie them open but that is just me

Kevin- do you have emissions inspections to deal with? I am a new ZR1 owner and have my plenum removed at the moment and was considering removing the secondaries but read some threads that indicated that passing emissions may be a problem with them removed. I guess if you wire them, once a year you could un-wire and install the stock chip to get through emissions but that would be a pain. I would love to pull all that "stuff" out of there.

I spoke to Marc H. about removing mine while he was doing the porting, he said leave them in if I had to deal with emissions.

no emissions here. even if I did, I don't drive it enough to hit the millage requirement to get smogged
