Default Cutting EGR tube...

Does it matter where it's cut? Right at where it necks down maybe?

Are you talking about the free EGR mod where you cut the tube that sticks in the intake? If so, that's where I had cut mine before I totally removed it.

Thats where i cut mine, make sure u cover the hole with a rag and then use some sand paper to clean where u cut, make sure to get all the metal shrouds on the inside of the tube too.(just incase u didnt already know) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You want to cut it about 1 1/4" from botton . There is a line around it at that point. I was told if you cut it any higher you get a ses light. installuniversity.com has a good write up on where to cut with pics.

Yep, I was referring to the "free EGR mod" - should have been clearer! Thanks everyone for the info! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
