Default EGR Valve Delete?????

Ok so I just replaced my stock exhaust with straight 5'' and now my engine light came on saying the my egr valve is bad. I was just wondering does anybody know if I can just delete the whole valve??? I have read that it is not needed and just soots up your motor and others say that I can't delete it on the lb7 any ideas. btw I have no emissions where I live so that is not a problem. thanks

You can do a blocker plate. I dont think anyone has a complete egr delete out yet

An LB7 does not have an EGR. You might have an LLY. You can either remove the egr completely or put blocker plates and a fingure stick in it.

15.95 shipped for the blocker plates. And it just slides between the up pipe and the egr
