Default Tbss intake question

Is there way to retain egr with the l92 or tbss intake by modifying the intake?

Those are both Gen IV intakes, the L92 from a 6.2 and being rectangular port, and the TBSS from a LS2 6.0. Any reason for dong this? Later engines did not use EGR. Only the LS1 ever had it.

Can't use the stock intake? It flows almost as well as the TBSS.

What sort of emission testing is done in your state (which one?).
If they sniff, you might have a problem. A 427 will test way different than the old LQ4.
If it's visual, just keep the outside stock, and use a smooth cam.
If, like here in California, they hookup to your OBDII port, just make sure there are no codes showing. We also do visual besides the OBDII scan.
