I'm not sure what this hose does and if it can be deleted. I'm sure it is emission related. Blue tape is on it.

It runs to that electric motor and then another hose runs to the header. I deleted all the other EGR hoses and air pump. If this is part of the EGR system is it safe to remove and block off the holes?

Yes, that is the EGR pipe. Yes, you can remove it and block off the hole in the intake.

Expect to get a MIL if you have deleted the EGR system without also having a custom tune.

That's your egr. If you remove it you'll get a ses. A lot of people do remove ot though. Just block off everything and see how it runs.

MIL? I also deleted the air pump and piping. I'm waiting to get it tuned until I get the off road y pipe installed. First week of January is the plan. My ses is also on since the air pump delete. The tune will take care of that though.

IF your state/county has a very strict emissions VISUAL inspection program, you could be failed for not having the EGR system (and A.I.R. system as well) present on the engine, even though the tune will permanently kill the dash cluster SES light, and ANY/ALL codes in the PCM.

Just something to consider/check out first.

I live out in the sticks. There are no emissions or safety checks here. Plates are almost optional here hehe

I'm going to order them this weekend. They seem kind of high for what they are but it will save me the time and hassle of making them myself.
