nope take all of that crap off,you have to use block off plates though,you can make your own pretty easy..it wont hurt your car either!!if you compare the air and egr tube to your stock manifolds you will see that they are the same,but do away with that crap..

there should be 2 holes on the passenger side and 1 hole on the drivers side. 1 hole on the passenger side for the EGR and 1 hole for the AIR tube and 1 hole on the drivers side for the AIR tube.

delete EGR and AIR systems and install blockoff plates. u dont need either system. then get the codes tuned out

remove both EGR and AIR. You will not harm anything in the car by doing so, it'll just look cleaner in your engine bay without all the hoses. The ONLY problem will be that your check engline light will turn on telling you the EGR and AIR is malfunctioning... cause obv. its not even there.
