Just be extremely wary with it. When I put my long tubes in and ripped out the EGR and AIR on the 1999, my air fuel went to 16-1. Very very bad. That's what happened to me, doesn't necessarily mean it will happen to you. Would get a tune before you even get on it just in case. I put the TA on the dyno before the tune to find out what gains I would have with the LTs and actually lost 7 hp. Mainly the AF ratio, just my .02 though

Why remove it? it only plays a role under normal driving and is useful - WOT, it isn't even a player.
thanks

Some people find the EGR valve the perfect setup to bubble alcohol-water vapour into the engine resulting in better fuel economy and power.

I am not sure I agree with you about Fuel econ, I removed mine on an older car and it only caused problem and I could not see any difference in gas mileage - none! On my 02 does not have it, 97 it is on the back of the intake, you can't even see it. If you want to clean up the engine Bay, get a power washer ha, ha.
