1. No, vacuum line.
2. yes. assume you mean the valve on the muffler? Yeah, just unhook the hose.
3. Yes, plug them with a vacuum cap or plug you can grab at any auto parts store.

I also have a question.
I have started to remove my side mufflers and I want to install RPW's link pipes (which I kindly received from CRex, thanks again).
I have now the side mufflers still connected to the little valve controlling canisters. I'm too afraid to disconnect.
1. Is there oil in the line ?
2. Is it safe to just unplug the line from the canister, and if I do unplug,
3. do I have to seal the loose end... what about back pressure issues if I don't seal off?
In case it matters, I have the electrical switch unplugged (the one in the motor bay).
I appreciate all helpful piece of advice.

To respond to your questions:
1- No this hose you're dealing with is a vacuum hose, so absolutely no harm in removing it
2- You have 2 options, either unplug from the exhaust and block it, or remove it completely and use a vacuum cap from auto store. The second one is a cleaner installation if you have access to it.
3- Yes you do, as you don't want a vacuum leak.
The plug doesn't matter at this point anymore, just plug it back so you don't have it loose in your engine bay.
Please contact me if you need any help.

I thank everyone for their immediate help. Much appreciated.
Eddie, would you mind clarifying your answer to question #2 ? Where exactly shall I plug with a vacuum cap ?
Is this the hose that goes from the solenoid down to the exhaust vacuum canisters ? If so, can I simply seal it off right there, and remove the two side mufflers with their vacuum hoses ?
Also, the vacuum leaves the solenoid through the hose at the bottom (pic is taken from one of Mykimu's valuable mods and the hose has been removed), but where does it go ?
Last but not least... do I run into any back pressure issues when I go this route ?
Cheers,
Joël

Hi Joel,
I would the solenoid part unmolested. You can just unplug the vacuum lines on the valves (on the side muffler itself).
You also have the option of just blocking the hard line on the back of the car.
I apologize for the pic, but here you will be able to see where you can reach the right side vacuum line. Once you're underneath the car, it's pretty obvious.
I'm sorry but I didn't understand your question about back pressure.
