i have emissions pacestters w/o cats. what is the best way to go about the EGR and AIR. should i connect them to the headers anyway or leave them disconnected and plug the holes up on the headers? i am trying to get this done today....your help is appreciated!

If you dont connect them you will throw codes unless you are able to get them deleted from your computer.

It's up to you and your smog laws for your state...if I could i'd shitcan my egr and air in a heartbeat. Just get blockoff plates, gut it and call it a day IMO. And like murray said....you'll throw codes until you get them tuned out.

cool that was the plan. so i can just block off the 2 on the passenger side and the 1 on the driver's side, correct. i got my headers on today and i will finishing it up tomorrow morning. BTW, a computer tune is happening as soon as the car is drivable. Thanks a lot guys.

Correct...I wouldn't just disconnect everything though, you should actually remove the egr and air along with all components. You might want to look into a ls6 manifold if you haven't already swapped your ls1 manifold out....otherwise you'll need to plug that hole from the egr in it.

Don't expect that much of a performance difference if you decide to disable them from the PCM. In fact, don't expect any kind of a performance difference.... other than the one that's all in you're head, afterwards.

no, i am not expecting performance by taking those off.
i put in new plugs and put on the headers today...tomorrow is the x pipe and mufflers...then get it tuned...then finally, ENJOY IT
