Slightly less mpg, a check engine light and if you are in an emissions state...a failure sticker.

To me thats 3 negatives and no positives. Why would you do it for less mileage?

Ok.. one more..

A cleaner intake tract.

ya i dont think im going to do that lol

Wuss

cleans up the engine bay a lot.

setting the code to no report is super easy.

and loss of mpg is more prominant with misuse of your right foot than the EGR delete would do.

A custom tune can fix what you lose from the egr delete.

I don't have one and still get 30-32 mpgs freeway.

I deleted my egr and saw no difference in gas mileage at all.

My thinking and you can take it with a grain of salt... I deleted my EGR and had it tuned out of my PCM. Why:

1) Cleans up the engine bay a lot
2) Opens up area to work to change plugs LOL
3) MPG are not noticed in around town driving.. you might lose 2-3 MPG highway driving
4) And most important to me, I now do NOT have hot exhaust running through my intake into my cyl's...

I am trying to keep the air as cool as possible so my thinking was, remove EGR, no more hot exhaust gas.. Now is my thinking right, who knows.. LOL But made sense, and looks better..

Actually, the HOT exhaust gases (inert) COOL the combustion... But I did it to get rid of the residue it leaves in there...

This guy has no EGR.

Never saw a difference in MPGs.

I deleted EGR on my Stealth and MPG went UP.

The EGR is not always open, it only opens at certain times based on speed/rpms/airflow etc etc. So the only time the hot gases that help cool the combustion is when cruising around like on a freeway.

Now I know, still don't have it and not putting it back.. LOL
