Tanner Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Is the EGR valve and system pertinent? I've heard strong arguments for and against the egr valve, but no conclusion based on facts, just hearsay. Thoughts? (The reason I am trying to iron this out is because I'm looking for headers and some that I have found do not have the port for the EGR valve so if anyone has suggestions on headers those would be most welcome.)

gogmorgo Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The only controversy is because it's mostly illegal to tamper with emissions equipment. Some jurisdictions care more than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Like was said, if youre in an area that does safety and emissions testing, removing it could be construed as tampering and therefore illegal. I am in North Carolina where this is the case, but if you know an inspector, then it can easilly be gotten around. I think most people who quit using it just unplug it, block the vac line and remove the pipe. This keeps it in place but closed so you don't loose manifold vacuum. That would allow you to use a non egr exhaust manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll be getting rid of it. We don't have emissions testing here in fl so I'm just gunna scrap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
