EGR Free Mod

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 12-08-2005 08:33 PM

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

Brando56894 12-08-2005 09:08 PM

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

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 12-08-2005 10:17 PM

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

Savage_Messiah 12-09-2005 11:53 AM

ah, cool

You can't do it on a v6.

LS1 only

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

Brando56894 12-10-2005 03:01 AM

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 12-10-2005 08:41 AM

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 12-10-2005 08:40 PM

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