stainless works long tube headers EGR

[burt ragio]

I purchased and recieved my stainless works headers some time ago from our group buy. I'am still waiting for the high flo cats and long pipes. I talked with Scott again today he is looking into it and will get back to me. I should have these by late summer or early fall.
Who has installed their stainless works headers ? What was used for fabrication of the EGR pipe ? I do not want to delete the EGR pipe.

Delete the egr.
Be a man!

Zack, I know you have installed headers before. I know you elected not to hook up the EGR and then drove back from Fla. with no problem. But you drive full throttle every were you go and it's not a problem. I've read to many post and feel it is needed. Read:article in Motor age decoding egr stratagies June 1,2004 and tell me after reading the article if you still feel the egr is not needed. I would like to know why yo feel it's not needed.

FYI, my '07 4.6 GT Mustang does not have an EGR port.

Old engines never ran good with the EGR hooked up, new engines dont need an EGR to be efficient.

Personal preference what road you go down, but I for one dont want hot exhaust gas circulating back into the intake I try so hard to keep as cold as possible.
i also eliminate the water line going into the upper manifold.

Then whats with all the talk previous posts other members haveing symptoms of power surge at cruzeing speeds a false feeling as though they were haveing transmission ploblems?

You also may need the EGR system intack to pass your state inspection, if you have one. In N.C. they do a visual inspection of the EGR system.

I don't know why you'd need to fabricate anything. The headers have an EGR adapter welded right on them. I'd imagine that your tube will bolt right on.

I agree, but will confirm on Monday.:D Dennis

Newer cars with variable valve timing have been able to eliminate the EGR by allowing valve overlap and the scavenging serves the same purpose

EGR is used during very lean conditions with OEM tuning to prevent detonation...the injection of burned exhaust gases dilutes the air in the intake charge and reduces combustion temps!!:beer:

I think the EGR function in our OEM tune is turned off at about 60% load so it plays absolutely no role in hard acceleration or WOT...unless your goal is lower intake temps like Zack's!!:cool:

I had some surging with my blower tune and Dave adjusted the EGR function to turn off at about 30% load and it fixed it completely!!!:bows:

Other than emission issues and visible inspection I don't see the EGR making much difference either way with custom tunes??:shake:

This is what I was thinking but couldn't remember.
When I toured this facility, and saw the product, I remember they were set up just like the KOOKS at the time with every connection available.

Aside from a test bung-hole for those who frequent the dyno.
Lidio added one for me.

I have SW headers bolted in just like they prescribed. Don't do anything different and you will be more than happy with the results. Get an intake spacer installed also and see a delta in HP and TQ numbers plus 30. I got 40 out of my tune after the install. The new found power dropped me 5 tenths in the quarter and netted me 3 mph at the end of the quarter.

I added the test bung-hole ( man that sounds perverted) before shipping them off for coating, too.

Could be worse, Jman asked me in a related post if I had my BUNG HOLE fixed yet? Ain't he a beauty? Love ya Jake, a chance to nudge back.:bop::D Dennis

Yeah but 'sniffin' bung holes in Kentucky wasn't so easy to explain either. :hide:
