It depends on the headers you buy. They have race headers and emissions headers.

Exactly, you can either buy the race style (no EGR or AIR) or the regular headers that have fitments for both EGR and AIR.

Yep but go ahead and delete now. Cleans up the engine bay a lot. Really looks better under there with all that stuff gone.

lucky for you guys that don't have to deal with emissions... at least they make an option for EGR, look to see if they charge extra for the provisions or if you don't need to worry about emissions inspections.
