1 MPG and it will keep extra soot out of my engine? For 30 bucks?
SIGN ME UP!
One thought. What would you think of the idea of only installing one or the other of the two blockoff plates (whichever is easier), with two gaskets (a gasket on each side of the plate)? Basically just blocking off one end or the other of the EGR
without removing the EGR assembly?
The main reason I'd want to do that is to maintain the stock look and to keep it from being obvious that a piece of smog equipment is missing (removed) when I go for my emissions test. Sometimes the emissions testers take a look under the hood, you know...
