the air pump pumps air into the catalytic converter so the unburned fuel burns..... you can only get rid of it if you have a midpipe

Thats not true. I took mine off and made a small block off plate for the air inlet on the cat. Mixed up some JB weld and stuck it on with the 2 bolts. Its been about 15K miles and it doesn't leak.
