EGR question.. and headlights right now i got the stock ls1 intake manifold if i go ahead and remove the EGR will that make it easier and make more sense when i buy the ls6 intake without the EGR?? i was lookin at install university on how to remove the EGR but man i'm just not good at that **** lol i'm still a little confused on how to do it but hopefully i can figure it out i mean i'm not a fan of rippin **** out my car and what to do after i rip it out..
also man what is the deal with these headlights all fogged up and yellow man damn i see some z's with beautiful clear lights.. everyone keeps tellin me this happens to all of them and u can't do **** about it but that's apparently a lie.. so what do i do??

You can rip the EGR out if you block off the exhaust side and the manifold side. The SES light will come on unless you have the code tuned out. If you cut the bottom off of the EGR tube, and put it back in, you won't experience any problems, but don't expect much gain (1-2hp).
As for the headlights, the ones on my 98 were nasty as hell, but I got them looking sharp again for pretty cheap. I used some stuff called Novus polish.

Price went up $5 since I bought it, they must've figured out how well it works. The wetsanding process is key, it takes forever, but the more time you spend, the better. New OEM headlights are rediculously priced. Another choice may be to get some chrome halo's.

You can still run the equipment with the codes tuned out, but not have to worry about the SES light should you choose to remove them one day.

I would put headers on before an LS6 intake if I were you. I would also go with the "race" version and delete all your emissions crap. If you get the intake before the headers, you're going to have to block it off wether you decide to wait for the intake or not, so I'd go ahead and chunk it.
