    EGR Valve

    What are the pros and cons to deleting it? Is it gonna screw up my computer?

    On the 2001. Get rid of it.
    Pros: less crap in the engine bay, cleaner intake, get rid of a restriction behind the TB.
    Cons: need tune to eliminate codes.

    If you're not having problems with it, why not leave it alone? Lower emissions and using less fuel.

    is there really a performance gain?

    I would never REPLACE it...but why fix what's not broken.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    I think it is....EGR puts hot air into your intake so i think deleting it would be a gain

    It actually helps lower combustion temperatures and lowers fuel consumption while cruising. During idle and WOT it's not in use.
