Does anyone have a preferred method of doing an egr delete that "appears" to leaves the cooler in place but doesn't involve buying a delete kit?

Also I've heard that a mom and pop shop near me just welds freeze plugs in the ends of the cooler and reinstalls it. Would this be a viable option to consider or am I stuck buying a kit?

Thanks in advance!

 

A 2006 will throw a CEL if the EGR isn't tuned out. Otherwise weld up the EGR cooler, get the passenger side up-pipe scoop cut out at the same time. Enjoy being free from the "man"!!

 

guess ill weld up my cooler and quit putting of getting my sct!!!
and how do most people cut out the scoop?

 

Weld it up or buy the kit end result will be the same. Save some $$ and weld it just make sure you do a good job.

 

The scoop is easy to do with a torch or saw. If a shop is doing the weldingt hey can cut out the scoop.

 

i did my EGR delete on my 6.0 and it was pretty self explanatory i took the old cooler out and did the full delete well worth it. Worst part of the whole project is aligning the passer side up/pipe delete pipe and the turbo, pain in the *** but a ratchet strap and something solid will fix that. good luck on whatever rout you go
