LG SuperPros and EGR Blockoffs
In the instructions it says that, if you eliminate the EGR plumbing, the EGR tubes should be cut off and welded, rather than using blockoffs, or there could be problems. Does anyone know what the "problems" could be?
My situation is that I want to be able to slap the EGR plumbing back on so that the car passes the visual part of inspection in the event that I want the car back on the road.

Those are AIR injection ports on the headers .
What we have seen over the years is the combination of the block off plate/heat/vibration is that can cause that area to fail on the header. So if you are not using it, then they should be cut off and welded shut.
Generally those that have failed have done so after YEARS of track use but it does happen which is why we frown on using block off plates there.
