im installing some headers right now on my 94 Z28, and i ran into some trouble with the passenger side. All the way in the back of the stock exhaust manifold, it looks like it has a metal tube attached to the manifold. Does anyone know how to remove it?

Are you putting race style or emission style headers on? If you are installing emissions style headers, you just have to reach up there with a wrench from the bottom and work it off slowly. If you are installing race style headers and will be deleting the EGR and EGR tube, then just cut the bitch and yank out the manifold.

yea i live in CA so im doing the emission style to keep it on the safe side. Im looking for a bolt on it but i dont feel one. **** i wish i could cut that bitch off, but ill just do what you said and take a look from under, thanks.

Are you doing LT's or shorties?
I hope you're not an auto.

wolfen

oooooooh, ok i was looking on the tube itself, thanks a lot

ok now i got it off, does the exhaust manifold slide it from the top or bottom?

I think it comes out from the top, but if you remove the y-pipe and starter, it should easily come out from the bottom. Don't forget to remove the dipstick tube.

the thing that sucks is my y pipe is welded on to the cat, imma have to go buy a recipricating saw tomorrow. Yea edelbrock shorties and i have an auto.... im gonna hear it now arent i? lol

Oh man...I'll spare you, lol.

I have heard of people having a difficult time putting the egr tube back on because it gets in the way of the trans dipstick. But that is with pacesetter LT headers. Hopefully it won't be a big issue for you.

are new plug wires hard to put on? i just got some msd super conductors i was planning on doing also

Yes, you can buy these:

Remove the EGR valve and the EGR tube in the picture posted above. Then put the block off plates on the back of the intake manifold and the the exhaust manifold. Also you can completely remove the AIR pump. Cap off the vacuum lines that go to the EGR valve and the AIR pump. Also cap off the AIR ports on the exhaust manifolds.

and this is for pacesetter longtubes? that link???

The block off plates are universal. Two of the plates are for the back of the intake manifold, one plate is for the EGR port on the exhaust manifold.
