Plug for EGR on LS1 Intake
Plug for EGR on LS1 Intake What are you using to plug the EGR hole in an LS1 intake? When I bought the intake, it had one of the expandable rubber freeze plug type plugs in it, won't look too cool in the street rod. TIA

Never thought about that fact when I bought a LS6 intake and then went... hmmm, how do I keep it CA legal and keep the egr junk...

On one LS1 intake that needed to be sealed, I took a piece of black UHMW plastic and cut it to fit the top square part and glued a solid washer on the underside that fit the hole perfectly. With the UHMW screwed in tight and the washer in place, I didnt have an issue with leaks and it looked stock.

Verdad Gallardo We left the egr tube on the car, but cut it a bit short and plugged it up, changed the codes in the computer to show it was working(since CA checks to computer for codes...), and then made a pipe that has the same design for the egr to bolt down on, fit on the top of the intake and makes it look like a stock LS1 intake for the visual inspection.
Wasn't as hard as it sounds. Took a section of exhaust tube in the right dimension, cut it with the correct radius of the top of the intake, added a tab for the egr to bolt to, epoxied that to the intake.
