broken smog pipe question i believe it is a smog or egr pipe
is comming ff the bottom of my passengers side header, its an aluminum pipe that is attached to a fitting like this... http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/pr...15388_zoom.jpg
it snapped off pretty close to the header..
what is this pipes purpose, can i drive like this safely , is there an easy fix other then replacing the header or having the pipe welded back on?

My EGR pipe broke off right where it was welded to the header. I just broke it all the way off, found a short bolt the same diameter of the hole, shoved it in there and welded it in place. Looks a little cleaner now, you can't see it all from the top side of the motor.

Can I just jb weld over the hole?
It wasn't too bad to get to underneath the car but then again I don't have A/C anymore so there is a lot more room on that side now. I drove mine for a day or so and it was annoying and sounded like **** but I wouldn't wait too long to get it fixed.
