Default EGR Question

I had to flatten out my egr tube quite a bit during my Nitro Dave's Plate install. Will this affect anything? I guess its not much more flat than the 90* bend where it goes into the intake.

like stated just make sure you can still flow through the tube and everything should be fine.....however, do you live in a state where emmission are very tight? taking that system off may be an answer unless you live somewhere like cali or maybe texas.....unless they do a hardcore visual you will be fine... just tryin to help

As long as it can flow a reasonable amount, it should be fine. It doesn't rely on flow of the EGR for performance. But like others said, I would remove it and AIR, and have the codes tuned out of your computer.
