EGR Pipe.

You can take it off with and adjustable crescent on this end and a 10mm deep socket on the other end.

Of course you probably need to put it back on to run the engine

A quarter or nickel works on most cars as a block off.

Yep, EGR pipe. Mine's been blocked off for almost a year now, with a CEL every 2 months or so as the only result.

Over priced is a matter of perspective I guess.

I copied FM's plate with some scrap steel we had laying around. Some day I'm going to get the right adapters to attach the EGR to my BEGi exhaust manifold.
