I got rid of the PAV gizmo as soon as I learned what it was
. CMW sells a cap to close the hole left in the exhaust header
, but I went to the "Classic 50's Style" short silencer and didn't need it
. As to the PAV valve itself just unbolt it from inside the left side tool box when you pull the metal pipe out of the intake manifold you will need to plug the hole
. I used a small bolt from one of my Radio Controlled airplane junk boxes.
I tapped the hole in the manifold and ran the little bolt in with a generous gob of thread locker. It sealed it all up nicely.
