I have a 2000 Camaro SS and already have an LS6 intake. Im looking at new headers and know that once I change the intake the EGR must go. Now my question is should I buy headers with emissions and block off the EGR but keep the AIR? Or should I buy race headers and trash both systems? Can you even keep the AIR once the EGR is deleted? What would be the more reasonable route, buying block-off plates or paying for a tune to delete the SES code once the emissions are gone? Any help is greatly appreciated, Im just trying to make the right decision.

If you want to keep your AIR System, order headers w/emissions for a 01-02 F-body. The Camaro and Firebirds of those years didn't have an EGR System, but did retain the AIR System. I contemplated doing this when I installed my headers, but I don't have an LS6 Intake yet, so I went with a set for the same year as my 99 Formula. I guess I'll have to use a block-off plate when I upgrade my intake.

I just installed ARH long tube off road and LS6 intake. I removed all the egr and air pump stuff and eliminated about 50 lbs. of garbage. The tuner eliminated the SES lights and she is good to go.

i agree with last post. i got a LS6 vette intake without egr, just deleted codes and bought headers without the smog provisions. they look sweet!

i as well deleted both the egr and air from my 2000 z28, more room under the hood and less weight, and that wistling sound went away haha

also a tune can be had for 100 bucks through FROST a sponsor here up until may 27th, a tune will help even more with the power

dont really need either system. air just clutters up the engine compartment. i would get race headers and eliminate the AIR since you have to tune out EGR anyways.

Check out the Hedman Tork-Step long tubes with 1 5/8" primary tubes that step up to 1 3/4" with a 3" collector.
Regular painted black part# 68534 or HTC ceramic coated part# 66534.
These Tork-Steps will NOT have any A.I.R. nor E.G.R. connections.
But, if you decide to keep all of the emissions component conections then you must use an emissions compatible header which are all shorties style.
Shorties part# 68551 painted black or # 66551 HTC ceramic coated will both have the 1 5/8" primary tubes with a stock style collector.

Exactly what I did! Unless where you live is very strict on visual, as long as you get a tuner to take care of deleting the code, you will be good to go for inspection!

!egr and !air cleans up the engine bay SOOOO much. i did it for that reason primarily.

i think im going to go the race headers route and remove EGR and AIR, Im being forced to keep it legal and run cats plus it wont pass visual in Missouri anyway. I plan on running true duals dumped btw

FST SS

It will pass, if you get a good tune it will probably run cleaner than stock

Where are you in Mo.?

Get rid of that crap. Your hands will thank you later. And it also makes the engine bay look so much nicer. I kept all mine in case i ever need it for some reason, but other than that, it's useless crap i think.
