One is supposed to go on the exhaust manifold that you will be replacing and will not need the 3rd one. They have to sell that one just in case someone is not replacing their manifolds.

A car won't pass emissions without the EGR and AIR, will it?

Yes it's worth it if you don't have to pass emissions. The clip comes out of the EGR solenoid and the lines that go to the solenoid come out of the intake manifold and need to be capped with a vacuum cap. You can even ghetto rig some tape on that small fitting and you'll be fine.

dude chill out man...


This is SOO easy its ridiculous. OK-

1)block off (with 2 plates) the rear of the intake
2)get a simple vaccuum nipple to plug over the vac. hose that used to go from egr-intake.
3) take off air pump (3 bolts,1 connection) and all associated air tubing (black tubing, chrome tube going to pass. side of motor)


its really that easy..

No man, just go out and start taking off the EGR stuff and you'll see where it's all connected and what needs to be taken off. Just do it.

Default clip comes out of the EGR solenoid

The Vacumn Port with the Cap on it is the one that you need to Cap. Everything else comes off.
