Yes, if you get the block out plate you will be fine with the non EGR headers. Just get a tune also

If your car didn't have EGR originally then you wouldn't have need for one. It is a part designed for cars that had it originally but removed it for what ever reason (usually race headers with no emissions fittings).

Get the O2 extentions and use them for the fronts. Have your tuner delete the rear 02's.

Well the front ones the car needs to run. It uses those to determine how rich the exhaust is and adjust the fule/air/apark accordingly. The rear ones are for emissions purposes only and do not affect performance. Most guys just have the rears tuned out when using longtubes
