I would like to delete my EGR off my LQ4 because 1: its UGLY & 2: I want to get the Schoenfeld Headers and there is no EGR port in them. My buddy has an 02 Silverado and doing a tune up on it this past weekend I noticed that his never came with an EGR.
So im looking for the pros and cons of keeping it and deleting it. I dont have visual inspection for emissions here in Ohio and I know I can get it deleted out of the computer.

Little bit of weight loss?I don't really see any cons if it is done correctly and you don't have emissions to worry about.

Well I have emissions but no VISUAL inspection like some states have. I have been told that knock could be more pronounced. Cylinder temps would be higher. But with the right cam choice the temps would be ok.

I believe you wouldn't pass emissions cause your HC would be too high, maybe NOX also.
Mine passes just fine without EGR.

You removed yours? Or never came with one.
Removed it when I installed long tubes.

it will pass, they wont do a 'sniffer' test. just visual and scan for codes.Originally Posted by 03whitez71
Exactly correct

If its taken care of properly in the tune then you will have zero issues deleting it.
