Hello all.......Was wondering if anyone had recently converted their 96-97 to headers but still had the factory air pump check valve emissions hose on the passenger side. 20 yrs and 282k miles later my finally gave out and the car sounds like

. If anyone has it or wouldn't mind getting rid of theirs I would greatly appreciate having it. Could PM me for exchanges in money and shipping thanx again.

Do you still have your stuff? @95 blackbird

I know B&H in Elkton has a good assortment for 4th gens that you may be able to get one off of.

You know me, of course I still do. LOL. I wasn't sure if it would work with the transition to OBD II in 96.

Plus I would have to dig through all these f'ing Buick parts to find em.

Single cat (94/95) manifolds are 22mm threads for the AIR connection, dual cat (95 CA emissions A4/96/97) manifolds are 18mm threads.

Thank you guys I appreciate your help. I think I will look into the B&H place up in Elkton, its only about an hr n half drive so definitely doable. May even find some other things I've been searching for. Again thank you.

Have you though about deleting and tuning out? It should be easier for you since 97 is only a plug in here. I deleted everything and still passed emissions on the 2 spd sniffer.

Every state has different requirements, so it might not be possible for OP. I have to have everything to pass visual inspection even if it passes the plug-in test.

We live in the same state. Delaware if your 96 and up only requires a plug in test. They never open the hood. 95 to 65 require 2 speed idle test, fuel tank pressure test and visual.

there was a recall and removal procedure along with a reflash authorized by gm and the epa on obd2 cars. you just need to figure out how to tune out the check engine light

Actually i have thought about deleting all of the emission equip n just being done with it. Im in sussex so they only do the safety check and brakes. Also not sure where or who to talk to about editing or turning off any of the emissions data in the pcm. I have heard of a few shops but dont know much about any of them.
