I didn't like that "lace-up" cover from MAM so bought the $$ bullet and bought a new tube with cover from the local Chevy dealer, mostly for cosmetic reasons.
I think that with the earlier versions you could slip a new insulating sleeve over the EGR tube once you had the tube removed from the engine because it doesn't have the bolt flanges at each end like the '88 and newer units.
