i was wondering if anyone else has had trouble connecting the brass colored fitting/tube at the rear of the passenger side valve cover (egr?). the fitting on the headers is pointed towards the firewall and the brass tube is pointed towards the passenger fender. i have tried to bend the pipe towards the front of the vehicle to attach to the headers, put the bastard wont bend or extend some to connect to the header. is there some way to extend or put some type of extension on there? should i just remove it, and if i do, where does it connect to and do i need some type of plug or programming? i appreciate any help, headers on this car is the worst install ever....thanks guys. oh, and if i do block it off, what's a good way to block the hole in the header w/o welding? can i just crimp the line w/o doing anything else?
