Walker Exhaust Components

Emission controls in older carbureted engines relied on forcing additional air from pumps and valves located just before the exhaust manifold to ensure better burns. This is known as a secondary air injection system, and today has evolved to increase the efficiency of Catalytic Converters. Failed pumps and leaks are common signs of a bad Air Injection System, leading to off air and fuel ratios and poor acceleration. Remember to check the Manifold Gaskets and Seals for wear and tear when examining the exhaust.
