why stinky?
remove them and you'll want to avoid walking behind your car, especially at idle.
trust me, so many hydrocarbons will pour out the exhaust it will make your eyes burn. (and it just plain stinks)
at idle, due to the large amount of overlap in our engines (peripheral port exhaust) they run very dirty... our cars don't normally stink in stock form, the air pump, ac&cv, and catalytic converters (why do you think there are so many?) all work to hide this (among other things)
pull it off and you'll see what i'm talking about. The renesis motor will be alot better in this respect, I run my car with no emissions equipment, but man the exhaust at idle it smells so rich.

So, can I safely leave the aircontrol and air pump on and just put a block off plate on the split air outlet?

I won't have a hole in my cat because I am removing them and replacing it with a down pipe and presilencer.
unless you don't care about your gf whining about her eyes burning every time she gets her **** outta the hatch with the car idling.
