Default egr delete with longtubes?

hey guys, im looking to go with longtubes now since I need to do plugs and wires anyway. I was looking at the race headers (non air and egr), was just wondering if it will make the car run like **** without the egr valve? its a 94 so its obd1.

You'll need to get the EGR block off plates that go on the back of the intake. Probably have a check engine light if you don't have it tuned out of the computer.

It won't run any different without the EGR but the headers and no tune will make it run rich. Find a bolt on tune without emissions and load it yourself or have a tuner make one for you.
