No this mod is no power increase mod, it just cleans up the engine bay. It will set codes and you will see the SES light, but these codes dont hurt performance. Just find a friend with HP Tuners or something similar to delete them.

No real performance gains. The air delete will get rid of the popping through the exhaust you get when getting off the throttle when the car is cold. It cleans up the engine bay a lot. It will give you codes, but like said above, you can have them tunned out with tunning software.

Just did mine today. I got a check engine light for the egr almost right away but the car runs fine. I will tune it out in a couple weeks. Looks tons better without it. The put like 3 miles of rubber hose on these things for the a.i.r. system. What a waste.

How much would it cost to get these codes tuned out, and would i fail inspections, or do mmany places like virginia give a sniffer test.

If there is a visual inspection, you'll fail, but just a sniffer test, you might get by with it (if you still have the cats) if you fail it'll likely be for NOx (EGR helps to keep that down by cooling the combustion charge)

Definately cleans up the engine bay! Looks so much nicer. those before and after pics dont really do it justice.

I definately reccomend it. It lowered my MPG but it was worth it gets rid of all that noisy whining stuff from the engine bay. I hated that. Car sounds so much smoother now.

where is all the EGR located on an 02 LS1 engine??

going to remove the EGR and A.I.R.

There is no EGR on an 02. EGR was from 98-00 f-bodies only. AIR pump is behind the driver side foglight and pumps air into the tubes connected to your manifolds.

ok i was not sure about the EGR.. i see it on my buddies 00 TA right on the passanger head. So Casey should i still get the EGR tuned out? As far as the AIR pump, the actualy pump isright in front of the drivers front tire under the fuse panel. and there is tubing by the lid and tubing going to the manifolds. how hard is it to remove all this??

I used a 1 3/8" freeze plug I bought @ Auto Zone. You can get the block off plates for the EGR and AIR systems from Thunder Racing.

Just did mine today. Much better w/out it. Really cleaned up the bay.

It was really a pretty easy, straightforward mod. Here's the links to some good articles I used:

do you need the block off plates for the AIR Pump?

LuvMyZ

iTrader: (3)

Yeah you do. The part # from Thunder Racing is 99-86SP $9.00 (you need 2) and I also got the gaskets, PN 20-1255361 $1.50 (also 2). These were thick enough for my system. Ordered mine on Friday and got them on Tuesday.
