Quick question for you guys
The more I think about this the more I think I'm just going to do it.
When my EM long tubes show up, I'm going to just pull all the emissions crap out. I don't need cats in MI so that's no problem. What all can I remove? What do I need to block off? and the last and most important is ------- Will removing the EGR and blocking off the holes make the System light come on and give me a code?
two years ago my air pump went out and I pulled the pump. That gave me a code, so I plugged it in but without the pump it's self. So I know I can get around that part, I just don't know about the blocking off the EGR holes in the intake and what that would do.

It's a piece of cake and really helps clean up the engine compartment.

Umm, ok. I had a hypercrap chip at one time so I am assuming that I have a removable one. Right? I don't know crap about this stuff, but I'm trying to learn.

Thank you for your help.
I think I will start by getting the stuff off the car then talk to that programer and have a chip made.
