Exhaust Gas Recirculator

it recirculates some exhaust gas back to the intake to help with emissions. Some say it helps to remove it and i have personally had no difference in performance on my other vehicles when removed. It is located at the very rear of the intake manifold... i believe on the passenger side. They cut them off after 95 models i believe.

Yes, they cut them out after '95. It's the tube at the rear of the passenger side exhaust manifold that screws into the back of the Intake. Everybody wants a Cold Air Intake but then the EGR is sucking hot exhaust back into the manifold. ????? I was contemplating attempting to defeat this Item but only 1 Disaster @ a Time!
