Default Problems with Hooker LT

Has anyone else had problems with the EGR not fitting on the Hooker LT headers on a 96 or similar z/28? right now i have the holes on the top of the headers plugged and the egr hoses are just disconnected and blowing out air. its running like crap and trying to idle at about 500 rpm now, i also have not connected the rear oxygen sensors, im planning on using some simulators should that help it from running like crap? anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

i had problems with my pacesetters where the EGR was not lining up... I had to heat it up with a torch and mangle it into the right position... I wish i would have just went with non-emissions!

Yeah dude I had some problems with my rear fitting on passenger side of the Pacesetters. We finally just got rid of all my emissions. I'm lucky enough to live in South Carolina where emmissions are not enforced really at all... But my car idles and runs great. Good luck though!

I didn't think hooker made a L/t with egr fittings? Mine don't and I didn't have the option when i bought.
