long tubes FINALLY installed!!!!
ok well i got pretty far on my header install. and well when me and my dad were trying to bend my egr valve to fit my mac headers. we cracked it. im about to go to home depot and buy some JB weld so we can fix up the hole in the EGR pipe. would it be ok to run with Jb weld... and to people to who installed there own headers how did you bend your EGR pipe???

RE: run with broke EGR valve??
EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculator, what it does is it recirculates exhaust that hasnt been completely ignited and still has gas fumes in it. It reroutes the exhaust gases back into the intake manifold so they can be reignited in the combustion chamber. All it helps do is clean up emissions, I would recommend getting the delete kit if you dont have any emissions laws where you live.

I went with BBK long tubes and the EGR fell right into place, no bending. BTW, that header install was a b***h wasn't it. I installed mine myself also. I'm glad I did now but I'm like you, I'll never do another one.

Don't EVER delete an EGR. True, it injects exhaust into the intake to reduce NOX emissions. It's other function is to reduce combustion temps by introducing exhaust at critical times to keep preignition from occuring. Preignition basically can blow holes through the tops of pistons. If you wish to invariably shorten the life of your engineGO FOR IT! Everything on a modern engine today is a balance actof emissions, peak performance, and durability. I wouldn't foolwith this one. How doI know? My resume includes,GMservice tech training instructor, 8 years.

RE: run with broke EGR valve??
right but in this case, if they actually offer a egr delete and also in a tuner to turn off the EGR, im pretty sure those companys who do so are still in buisness because they wouldnt sell stuff to blow up your pistons. no?
