Inspection question

How close do they look to see if a car is supposed to have the egr on it? If I hook up the air and remove the egr will it be noticed?

if you actually get an inspector that knows what he is looking for you might get caught!! but most of the time they dont look that hard

No problem with mine. It was removed 4 years ago. They lift the hood only to see what I have added since the last inspection.

i wouldn't worry about it... the only place that would probably notice is the dealer since they see those cars all day and know what they should and shouldn't have... and if they notice it somewhere else then they are prob one of us anyway so no biggie lol

From what ived seen most of them dont really look at that, but then again you might just get someone that actually does.

as long as you have the code turned off and it wont set an SES, you should be fine. I was able to get my car to pass, the EGR on the v6 is pretty obvious too,
