Do a search on "pulsed secondary air injection" and "recall."

Well, since it's from SSAutochrome, I would also be willing to entertain the idea of a "crap nozzle." Since the product is made out of chromed crap, I would assume that the crap would have to go someplace else, as not to clog the catalytic converter.

I would run a hose from that to an outhouse and be done with it. :thumbsup

That's exactly how I would have done it. I would have a 3" pipe welded on, though, to go to the outhouse.
