EGR Free Mod (http://www.installuniversity.com/install_university/installu_pages/sophomore_year/egr_free_mod.htm)

is this worth the time and effort or is it just easier/better to delete it?

my dad says that if i deleted the EGR i wouldnt pass inspection. for the emissions test do the do anything besides plugging a scanner in and look for codes?

[foff667]

its a bit mroe difficult on your car to delete egr
no you wont pass inspection unless you delete the codes for it

[Brando56894]

so this mod would be easier then deleting the EGR? ill prolly just do this cuz it will help and wont throw any codes.. thanks there was another mod that i was lookin at, has anyone tried this? porting the MAF housing (http://www.installuniversity.com/install_university/installu_pages/donations/mafapalooza.htm)

oh im sorry thats the stupid egr cutoff mod...you do know thats an ls1 engine your looking at in those pics right? I did it on my car...no ill effects...i saw egr & just assumed you were dumping yours. And your right it wont throw any codes that i know of...never did it on a v6 though so im not sure how easy/difficult/effective it is though.

[foff667]

also thats not the style of maf you have and even if it was i do not condone ****ing with your maf...if you have a problem with maf and you own an ls1 go Speed density...dont **** up your maf & make your tuner fix your problems lol.

yea i know its an LS1, but it would work on my car anyway. maybe less effective though... the concept of it makes sense.

@ justin

idk the smilies just suddenly appeared for me today. wierd.

i was kinda speaking to anyone with an ls1 reading this thread...not to him when i said "if you have an ls1"

[Savage_Messiah]

ah, cool

[12secondv6]

You can't do it on a v6.

LS1 only

My egr.... is in my basement ;)

[Brando56894]

so its either !it or keep it then huh? but why wouldnt it work? all theyre doing is cutting the tip off of the EGR pipe/tube so that it doesnt stick out

[12secondv6]

On the LS1's.... the tube gets in the way of air flow.

By cutting off that 1 inch it picks up a couple hp

[Brando56894]

oh ok.. that just saved me a few hours of trying to do it then feelin like an ass when it doesnt work :lol:
