Anyone welded up EGR on exhaust manifolds instead of blocking off?
I have a set of 1998 steel exhaust manifolds from a LS1 camaro that I'm going to used.
I need to block off the egr tubes on them, but got to thinking about having the tubes cut off and welded up instead. Anyone done this?
I have a welder but my skills on something like this would def show so I thought about cutting them off and taking to a muffler shop and let them do the job of closing the holes.
Also my manifolds have some rust on them, particularly the flanges, what can I do to make these look somewhat new or better? Maybe have them hot tanked at a machine shop?
