How can I delete the EGR without deleting the actual tube for inspection purposes?

Will I still pass a sniffer emissions test with it deleted?

my EGR is deleted and i passed inspection. you would prob need to get a tune to turn off the MIL. i know in NY if you have no MIL you pass. idk how extensive the visual inspection is but i dont think they will even know it was there.

what are the odds you can pug the EGR block on, it'd block the EGR from passing gasses into intake.

what did you use? How did you make it? I've thought about doing it on my truck, but not sure what material to use.

umm i think you can weld a penny to where the tube attaches to the header. or go to a metal shop and pick up some scrap steel and use that.

don't forget to plug the hoses and stuff too

get a EGR block off plate for a 4.6L GT mustang, It the same size. there like 8 bucks off of ebay.

But doing this without a tune will try off ur idle.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation. I'm not sure what benefits you would get. You could get a tune to disable the EGR system and leave everything hooked up.

I did the golf tee thing that is posted on focus hacks this weekend and it worked like a charm. and it will stay that way until i can remove all the egr associated hardware and get some SCT goodness
