late model exhaust upgrade?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at replacing a bunch of things and upgrading while i'm there.

plan is 99+ intake, motor mounts, exhaust and just overall replacing stuff

 

i'm sure you've all noticed the difference between the new exhausts and the renix exhaust and the HO is designed for better flow and all that good stuff. but it doesn't have an outlet for the EGR like the renix header does

 

i was wondering if anyone else has done this upgrade and how they put the egr in or if you removed it.

well you need an EGR for inspection. The guy up here was giving me crap for not having an EGR on my 81. besides you would want an EGR. better fuel economy and it dosent idle as rough, oh and more power too

well yeah, i want the EGR but i'm asking HOW to put it in the new style manifold

Remember that the newer 4-oh's were made to run without an egr?

 

There were lots of fights in the 'Visual Inspection' states with HO's about no EGR.

 

Nick, if you've already got the block and head off'n a 97, just swap the exhaust on and go. Should be fine.

 

when i don't pass i'll say its your fault 8) haha, thats pretty much all i was lookin for, i knew they were made to run without but i didn't know what everyone else's opinions were. gracias.

I can't figure out how you could attach an EGR to a non-EGR intake. Maybe if you welded on a little tab so you could bolt it into it's approximate place and then run some fake vacuum lines to it and call it good?
