Just took one off.What happens about the pipe running to the exhaust if you remove it completly my worry would be although its a fairly think pipe if its not supported the vibration from the engine will eventialy cause it to crack and fail unless its properly supported.I think if i were doing it would use some 1mm copper and slide it in one side and leave the valve in place the copper will also act as good gasket to seal gasses
I just left the pipe loose, it sits on top of the bell housing. I thought about tieing it up to the bracket on the block with some wire coat hanger or sommit, but I've left it for now. Mine had some up and down movment anyway, like it was lose on the exhaust anifold, not sure how it attaches exhast side as i think its under the turbo heat shiel, didnt have a proper look just figured i'd keep my eye on it and listen for a developing blow and perhaps weld sommit over it depending on how it attaches to the manifold/turbo etc
