should I get rid of the AIR and EGR?
should I get rid of the AIR and EGR? I know that by removing the AIR and EGR, it cleans up the engine bay a bit, but can my car still pass emissions? Also, I have a set of LT headers and LSX intake made for EGR, is there a blockoff plat I buy?
Depends if your area does the OBD2 test (checking for codes) or a sniffer/visual, if it's a sniffer/visual, you'll fail, but if it's the OBD2 test (where they just plug into your computer) with the proper tune, you'll pass
If it's the sniffer it won't matter actually. (egr,air) The air pump only injects air when the engine coolant is below 130 degrees.It's meant to light off the cats sooner. I doubt you'll be at a smog station right after you start the car in the morning.
The egr has no noticable effect on exhaust emmissions, in fact the '01+ cars don't even have the egr! If you remove the items and it throws codes anyone with LS1edit or hptuners can dissable the codes.
Delete the crap it will make the engine bay less cluttered. Hell I got rid of the pcv system too and with a huge cam rumbling it's *** off I just passed Atlanta emmissions. The visual inspections only refer to catalytic convertor inspections-nothing else. You can put "clamshells" on the off- road pipe and the inspector wont know the difference, unless they put it on the roller w/o cats.
Atlanta does OBDII code test only for emmissions.
If you don't have blockoffs, you can buy from a sponsor===>
or you can cut the ends off from the old factory egr tubes and weld the holes closed, bolt them up to the headers. Solved.

It doesn't really matter since atlanta does the OBD2 test, as long as the computer has no codes, you're good to go
Bumping this topic. I'm going to run Pacesetter LT's, kooks ORY, and flowmaster catback. Since I'm running no cats anyways, i might as well get rid of the air and egr too. So what all do I need and where can I get it?
I need 02 extensions, and then a way to cap off the egr and air on the headers. Now do I need a delete idler pulley, or what for the egr and air?

So if i wanted to jsut take off the AIR and EGR to clean up my engine bay with stock headers and ls1 intake, all ill need is the block off plates for the headers from speed inc? Or do i need them for the intake as well? Could someone tell me exactly what i need and is there a possibility i wont throw a code?

Well i see the full kit for 2 air plates, 1 EGR and an intake plate is $35, Is this everything i need? Speed incs kit is only $14, is it missing something? What else would i need if anything to buy from speed inc?

just cut off the ends to the factory EGR and AIR tubes and weld them shut. Then for the intake manifold get a 1 3/8 freeze plug from Advance Auto. That it all you will need. Total cost $3.00 I threw a code when I did mine.
