Default Header removal issue

Hello all,

I am greatly having an issue

taking this header out because if this cable that lies in the way. I wasn’t sure what this cable was for, so I wanted to come on here to confirm. Does anyone know if this cable has to be removed in order for the header to come out. Thanks so much! Photos below.

EGR tube. Unbolt on intake, remove clamp at exhaust manifold. Unplug wire and remove tube.

Thanks for the reply! I took it partially out and got the headers right in! Since I am adding long tube headers, I have to remove the entire air system(kinda off topic). But I was just wondering which lines I should cap and which I should leave? Thanks do much!
