Default EGR VALVE with LONG TUBES?

Ive just recently installed long tube headers in my car and when i hand them installed the guy who did it took off my egr valve. i was wondering if you were supposed to keep that on or not. I plan on getting an ls6 intake and i know that doesnt have an egr valve but i was wondering if after i put that on would my check engine light go off or would i have to do something else for that. thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

You have to get the code deleted by LS1 EDIT. You can either buy it or go to a shop that dyno tunes to get it taken care of.

What kind of headers did you get, and what year is your car?

When I got my Hookers, me and a couple buddies put them on. I had headers set up for a '99 LS1, so my EGR and AIR didn't match the headers. They changed EGR and AIR slightly between 99 and 2000. Good thing the buddy of mine had a 99 car, and had deleted all of his stuff with LS1 edit, so I used his EGR and AIR.

It's possible that the guy who installed your headers just didn't bother with it if they didn't match.

Write a sig, so people can see what you have on your car and better answer your questions.
