EGR pipes, header install

Chasing a vacuum leak and trying to get my head around a header install. Car is a 5.0 TPI with hedman shorty headers (with no EGR provisions). Can someone kindly school me on how the EGR system is usually plugged up after headers are installed?

cheers

Re: EGR pipes, header install

I think you mean the air injection system - air pump and valves and solenoids injecting air into the headers/manifolds and catalytic converter.
