ok im buildin a car for the street/strip, should i take my egr and air pump off, or leave it as is? (i dont care about emissions, i live in a county where u aint got to have no emissions haha)

 

I'd say remove all of it. I did when I installed "race" headers. It saves a few lbs. and the car might pass an emissions test anyway. Although it is technically illegal, according to the federal government.

 

i think thats what il do, thanks man, well the county that i live in dosent even use the obd tester, u drive in flick ur lights and signals and leave haha, it costs 9 dollars and ur done.

 

weight and you dont really need it......

 

no egr!!

 

dont install them its a PITA, get the race version

 

The tribe has spoken.

 

NO EGR!!!!!

not having it cleans up your engine bay and makes life alot easier, you wont miss it

 

Ditch it, no regrets here

 

!EGR You wont miss it at all, I don't.

 

Another vote for removing it.

 

How would you go about plugging the hole in the manifold? I was cutting the EGR tube into the manifold and cut it too short today. The collar broke off and now, I have a vacuum leak and it will barely hold idle.
So now I am going to delete both air and EGR!! **** em' both. Has anyone written a how-to on this?

 

Emissions laws are just going to expand. They did in my area and since I ditched so much EGR/emission crap I just ended up selling the car for a C5.

Eventually they are going to become federal.


Note, keep your emissions crap when you go for the race/off-road stuff.

 

yea ill keep it all, put it in a box somehwhere, im senddin my headers back to summit, i ordered the wrong part #, actually read the book wrong haha

 

so no egr seems to be the popular decision? what about the hole in the top on the intake? what do you do about that?

 

answered it in your thread already

either buy a plug from thunderracing, or make your own out a a 1/4 brass pipe fitting with teflon tape to seal it off

 

might you have a picture of this?
