My cobra has the egr removed. Time to run through emissons but hear that it wont pass because of the egr being removed?
Egr
- Thread starter SVTCLOPTON
- Start date
Heres the trick, works for me everytime. Tell them you are a little concerned about scraping the exhaust since the car is lowered. They will give you a waiver good for 2 years and you don't have to pay the fee. Atleast thats my experience with it. I don't have cats or an EGR.
I thought about taking my EGR valve off when I do my ported blower.
...never mind that the EGR valve is only open at part throttle and in no way affects WOT performance...
I happen to prefer clean air to air that isnt clean. But thats just me; I've been known to breathe on occasion.
SVTClopton, in most states they simply plug into the car's computer and look for codes or systems that wont come to a state of readiness. Some states' scanner thingies are more sophisticated than in other states, so some scanners will catch the deleted EGR subsystem in the tune as malfunctioning/disabled emissions equipment and fail the car. other states will simply get an 'everything is a-ok!' reading from the scanner and send you happily on your way.
You need to find someone with a similar situation in your own state and find out what they had happen.

Thanks Sheblyguy for the input yeah the shop in my area said that egr valve was removed and that I wont pass emissons my check engine light is not on but its turned off in the tune. Just wondering cause I know alot of 03-04 owners remove the egr but odd now to hear that you need it to run through emissions. Anyone have one for sale?
