Thought a bit og putting one in but really..is there any benefit to doing this? also how will it affect gas mileage by doing this?

Good luck.

I don't seem to see anything on its effects on emissions. Such as how much does it affect it? I plan on keeping the EGR, seeing as I live in Mass and all.
I understand the benifits, but how much more emissions does it really pump out from a little more echaust gases?

An EGR works by redirecting inert(unflammable) gases from the exhaust back into the combustion chamber. Contrary to popular belief, it its not being reburnt. What it does it takes up space in the combustion chamber so less fuel and air are needed and it ignites the mixture like normal. The less fuel and air in the mixture, the smaller combustion. The smaller the combustion the less heat. The less heat, the fewer NOX gases emitted from the tailpipe. A downside is that it will pollute the ports on your intake manifold and can cause driveability(slight) problems under some conditions. Don't just assume it's happened to you. You can clean those ports out and reseal them but that is somewhat of an involved process. You very well may be able to pass emissions without it but if there's a visual then it's an automatic failure I believe.

ahh, ok...that's makes a bit more sense than the common expenation. thanks

I've never seen them open the hood for an emissions test, but I plan on keeping it functional anyways,

very little benefit, infact it can cause future problems.
