Default blocked off egr or AIR tube is broken...what do i do

Edit:its the long tube that runs to the bottom of one of the longer tubes

Its still connected but bounces all over the place...I'm guessing i have to yank the header and get the hole welded shut? could this cause a noticeable loss in power?

You talking about where the EGR runs into the top of the header?? If so im sure they can just weld it up. You should have just got headers without the EGR bull ****.

Are you talking about where this lil part meets the actual header tube? If so then that can be welded up.

edit:...the pipe is broken in the middle..not at the weld...can i just break it the rest of the way off and crimp the tube shut...for now
