Switching to non-emission headers
hey guys,
I've removed the driver side manifold, and I just finished the passenger side, but there is a metal tube that is attached to it... I look at my Hooker LTs and I dont see these attaching anywhere.... what do I do about it? What is this metal tube? How do I get rid of it? Will it affect normal operation?

That tube is part of the EGR system. It goes to the back of the intake and allows exhaust gas into the intake manifold when the EGR valve opens. You will need some block off plates to remove it. I found some on EBAy for about $15.00

You will have an air leak into the intake when the EGR valve opens. I am not sure how much it actually let's in and if it is enough to make a difference. I would at least pull the vacuum hose off the EGR valve and plug the hose.
