Won't be worth any power. It's more for appearance. You'll need a tune to have the SES cleared. You'll also need to buy/make a set of EGR block-off plates.

ebay has a nice set of plates, no really worth any power like previously stated but will unclutter the engine bay some and make intake and header removals easier

To add to what the others have said. I have read that deleting the egr tube helps increase the longevity of the RTV seal at the back of the intake.
