Hey guys stuck in a jam here i have both headers mounted and bolted on heres the problem the EGR and free EGR will not bolt on i dont know if i should cut it and weld it it on i tried bending it and that was a joke If i am not explaining myself correctly its the part of the EGR that requires the gaskets there is a total of 3 gaskets used ...so anyways what the heck should i do i am stuck so any help would be aswsome thanks

Let me guess........ You have a 2000 or newer right? They changed the EGR and AIR from 1999 to 2000, and the headers are only meant for a 99 car. I got lucky with mine. The guy that was helping me had a 99 and had deleted his EGR with LS1 edit, so I used his. The only thing I can suggest is to find somebody that can use edit on your car, or buy it, and delete the EGR and AIR. You can just put the block off plates on your headers after that. You should still be able to drive it until you do that, but you will have an SES light, and your car may not run right until you delete it all. Well, maybe you could do the same thing I did, and see if anybody with a 98 or 99 has deleted their EGR, and see if you can have theirs if they saved it. Hope this helped.

you need the 98/99 EGR tubes. I went with a header designed for a 2000 model to avoid this issue.

Don't know the part number, but the tubes are pretty cheap.

I am agree with NickMapleT/A - Narcosynthesis, i think your car is 2000, in this time you can delete the EGR or you can change the EGR to 98/99.

I have the EGR & AIR provisions from my '99. PM me if interested. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I just did an install this weekend and was able to bend them to fit. You just need to put them in a vise but it will work.

Hey guys thank you very much for all your help do you think it would be a good idea just to cut the tube and weld it back together to make it shorter let me know what you guys think i dont know anyone with LS1 edit so i am screwed that way unless anyone lives in san jose cali....my next option is to do what you guys said and block them all off for now but i already threw a code cuz i am not running any cats but will my car be horrilbe to drive
thanks guys <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" />

Throwing an SES light for NOT having AIR & EGR won't affect driveability. And you say you already got a code for no cats. I'm assuming you aren't running o2 simms? Either way, non of those should affect driveability. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Bad part about driving around with that is something more serious could happen, and you might not know it, since the SES light is already on. I'd get a pair of air tubes from the 98-99 cars and install those along with a pair of O2 sims.

I would either bend them or delete them. If you bend them and break them send me a PM and I'll send you mine for free <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
