Increased emissions, higher combustion chamber temps, detonation, lower gas mileage.Matt

Alot of times people - like myself - block them off because it's damn near impossible to hook up correctly with aftermarket headers. You run the risk of detonation, but if you can't get it to fit what are you gonna do?Matt

I keep my egr hooked up after i installed my headers. Although, I put a block off plate on the headers and a breather on the end of the egr. So, now it breaths in cooler air compared to the hot exhaust air, also I'm sure my TB stays cleaner now. :D2000 V6 Camaro(bought brand new)

I can hear my egr suck in air too. At first I was like WTF is that sound coming from. I don't have a breather on it though, it's just open.

I have a question. I was always told that blocking it off kept you from sucking in all that hot air. How do you have hotter combustion chamber. Or am I misinformed.
