i mean just taking out the stuff you really don't need. like air bags, a/c, spare tire and jack, etc. he wanted cheap, this ones free.

Dobbist, the EGR tube is just the lil tube where the EGR valve goes into the intake manifold.

I agree with the weight reduction. It's about the cheapest way to go a lil faster. You could do like all the lil Chevy Racing wannabes around here do. Those that have TBI unscrew the wingnut from the top of the air filter cover, flip the lid over (exposing the filter) and screw it back on. Buncha posers. They act like it adds 50 hp.

spare tire is already gone (for my subs). and im not gonna take out the airbags or AC. I dont think the weight reduction is that way for me to go. my subs and box way like 100+ lbs. And they sure as hell arent leaving.

when i had a tbi i just replaced the stock air intake with the old school circle kind open face with a 14 inch filter 2 inches bigger than stock. but about the egr tube i still have no idea whats going on. i took off my egr and the bottom was flat and nothing stickng out of the intake manifold. but i'll look agian in my repair manual to see if shows me something i missed.

if you still under a warranty i wouldnt do anything other than a kn air filter, personally id just wait till that is up and go hog wild maybe even try a engine swap for a 502 [sm=gears.gif] since really anything can void a warranty or just before you take it to the shop spend some time and un mod it

well then dont do any extreme things and just un bolt any mod and revert to stock before going to a dealership other wise just make sure what you install says it won't void the warranty that way if it does send the company the bill
