Default Removing the EGR

Hey fellas, I am going to purchase the block off plates(2) below. Are these the only parts I need to get rid of it? Pics & descriptions would be awesome. Want to get rid of it. I have no smog inspection so I am set. I just need some pointers in the right direction and will be all set. TIA.

Are you sure about that claim? I thought it was a good deal but I have never had EGR issues or looked into it's details much. I checked out his website and figured, why not try.

Looked at his AIR eliminator kit and it was pretty pricey.

You can make your own plates with some 3/16" or 1/4" flat stock mild steel. Trace the outline of the EGR mounting base and the base on the tube onto the stock. Drill the holes and grind the stock down to match the outline. Paint them with some black or aluminum high temp engine paint, add gaskets and bolt them down.

Because he's in Canada, you may also have to pay U.S. Customs duty or taxes and the cost of shipping.
