Serge,The "Smog Pump" was incorporated into vehicle exhaust systems beginning in the early 70's. The therory behind them was to use low pressure, high volume air injected into the exhaust system to serve 2 purposes:1.) Dilute the exhaust gases2.) Control the catylitic converter temperature When the big three started adding catylitic converters under the cars, you may recall a number of saftey advisories about operating the vehicles in tall brush- the hot catylitic coverters started brush fires!
