Removal of AIR and EGR

How much crap from under the hood can you get rid of when you delete AIR and EGR provisions? Pictures and a list would be helpful

Re: Removal of AIR and EGR

So if I completely remove the EGR and AIR systems and both of the pumps it will only throw a code it won't harm performance at all? I am asking because I will be installing my new pacesetter long tubes and off y-pipe later this week and would like to clean up some of the engine bay and get rid of the useless crap. I will be getting a dyno tune in the next month or so. So what I am really asking is will removeing these things damage anything with out the tune to program them out of the computer?

Won't damage anything, and you'll definitely throw codes - and of course you need to block off the EGR at the intake, passenger side header, and on top of the exhaust manifolds for the AIR.

Re: Removal of AIR and EGR

I was thinking of doing the same thing myself pretty soon. I already have the LS6 intake manifold installed when I did my cam. So I'm not get any codes b/c of the tune afterwards that I got. However, I still have the AIR pump in my engine bay that is still attached to my headers. If I get the block off plate for the headers and remove the air system will that throw a code, even though I've already got the tune which eliminated the EGR stuff. Or will I have to get my PCM edited again to kill the codes

Re: Removal of AIR and EGR

most tuners only tune out codes that you tell them specifically or codes that they see when they scan your car - if they saw the AIR tubes connected, they probably didn't tune it out

Re: Removal of AIR and EGR

so yes...you'll throw a code for the AIR if you remove it. unless by some odd chance the tuner got rid of it already. you can always pull the fuse and see what happens.

the removal of the EGR and AIR really clean up the engine bay. i have several pics on page 2 of my website.

Re: Removal of AIR and EGR

Removing that crap was the first thing I did after I bought my car.

Better make sure you'll still pass inspection and that you don't have a butt munch of a cop that looks under the hood for them and tickets you for not having the proper emissions equipment like they do in Houston.

Re: Removal of AIR and EGR

Could you stick a resistor in the plug for the EGR? -Just untill you get it tuned.

What about the excess wiring for the systems? Just tie it up?

Some PPL make 'em themselves.

Thunderracing has them. Look under Exhaust Excessories.

No. But places will delete them for IIRC ~$50.

Excess wiring I don't know.
