Ok, i'm looking around for long tube headers. i have a friend with a pair that he will sell me cheep. my question is what about that egr crap on my stock manifold? if i get plain headers without them do i need to do a complete egr delete? or are there ways around it?

 

Do you mean the A.I.R. injection lines on the EXHAUST manifold? If so, you don't need them......(you may if you still have a catalitic converter,I don't have one so I didn't worry about it) But you will have to delete the lines as well as the lines to the A.I.R. pump to make the room for your hedders. You can pull out the A.I.R. pump too and replace it with a delete pulley. I think that there is a way on this site on re-routing your serpentine belt so that you don't need to replace the pump pulley if that's the way you want to go.
It's pretty easy to do and if you look long and hard enough on this website you find all you need to know on how to pull it all out. I just finished doing the very same thing to get my long-tubes in. Good luck!
