Hello all,

I’m considering using an EGR delete kit but want to understand the environmental and regulatory implications. How does removing the EGR system affect emissions output, and are there any legal considerations to keep in mind?

For those with experience, did the modification lead to noticeable changes in exhaust smoke, sensor warnings, or overall system behavior?

I’m trying to balance performance improvements with responsible use, so any detailed experiences, recommendations, or warnings about compliance and practical consequences would be greatly appreciated.

Any emissions related delete violates federal laws, don't know about the OP state's regulations. My question is what is the OP shooting for? The question sounds like it's coming from a diesel background.

I was under the impression that the Variable Valve Timing took care of EGR duties on these little 3.0 bullets. Silly me. ;)
