Headers on 2000 LS1 - missing fitting? I ordered some (name withheld) headers and catted y-pipe for my 2000 LS1. The headers came with 2 AIR/EGR fittings, but there are 3 connections to the stock manifolds (1 driver side, 2 passenger side).
Is this pretty much standard for emissions headers?
My mechanic advised me that deleting the AIR/EGR system will cause me to fail the emissions tests in my area (Ontario, Canada) due to the NOx readings going way up. So, that really is not a valid option for me.
Any suggestions on a simple resolution? I am currently trying to work it out with the header manufacturer......

Most emissions headers will come with 3 provisions. Possibly if the headers are designed for a 01-02 car they will only have 2 since those cars don't have EGR. You could always remove the EGR and tune the car. Might call the manufacturer and see if they were supposed to come with 2 or 3 provisions. That would probably be the best/quickest solution.

Originally I ordered another brand through a board sponsor, but they were out of stock and availability was "unknown", so I went with the ones I have now. The sponsor ordered them on my behalf. However, after speaking with the manufacturer, they have said it looks like they missed something when it was made.
Mostly I just wanted to confirm that it should have come with 3 fittings, which is the message I'm receiving so far.
