RIGHT THERE you see that thing thats bolted on to the header on the right side

haha silly that's not a miata.

and to hell if i know.

You waste of sperm hahaha

EGR pipe?

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:gtfo:

no you dont just make a block off plate for the intake side and find a cap nut then egr is gone. :D

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.

That is a Yellow mazda protege MP3 silly. That's an egr pipe on the FS-DE 2.0l engine

Atleast my title change wasn't that bad :D Okay so EGR.. anyone have pics of what they did with it?

Okay flyin miata has that block off plate.. but since my middle finger comes out everytime I think flyin miata i'm going to home depot to build this bitch

Bill run over your dog or something?

who you callin cock suckers?

leave the EGR in place. it does more good than harm.

No there just over priced... and just like I knew.. they are selling an inch of metal for $12 + shipping comes out to $20

Over priced is a matter of perspective I guess.

My mod costs 5-25 cents.

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.
