Take 'em out, not only will you gain power from removing the egr, you will also gain fuel economy. Reason being, the egr floods the cylinders with a *mixture* (key word) of un-burned fuel and hot exhaust gasses. The last thing you want to add is a hot gas into your cylinders.
Removing the cat is not going to do very much for you other then giving you a more free flowing exhaust. The change in tone will be minor and power gains will be unnoticeable.
One thing to keep in mind, you can do these deletes without the use of a tuner, however the other options such as putting resistors into the wiring harness is very time consuming and easy to fuck up. Read up on a few simple tuners. I'm a cummins guy but from my limited experience with the LBZ, Bullydog and Edge make great products for your motor.


we have to clean the egr on our trucks all the damn time. they eventually get to where the truck gets a bad hesitation when you are accelerating usually accompanied by loading up on fuel and then they start pouring the black smoke. all this bullshit they are putting on them nowadays is killing them

Question/Thread jack:



My girls 2001 Ford escape keeps misfiring cylinder 1, and I've replaced the coil pack/plug 3 different times, with 3 different brands. The shop said the cat is clogged, and causing the exhaust to back up into the engine. I'm going to be removing the cats this weekend at a friends house.

My question is, what do I do with the EGR? Have it deleted? Or just leave it there?

Not really that hard at all. At least on cummins. The duramax shouldn't be much different in that aspect. I ended up getting an egr delete kit which came with a block off plate. Then I got rid of the cat when I went to 3 inch exhaust. I had to end up getting a programmer to stop the ses lights off.

Would be kind of weird for a clogged exhaust to cause a miss on only one cylinder.
Take the cats off and see how it runs. They are different systems. On most vehicles the egr is beneficial. I would leave it on if taking the cat off fixes the problem.

all of our columbias are detroits. im not sure on which liter mine is though. i think its probably the 14L because our 2007 run different than the 2006.

our 2010 freightliner cascadias has that piece of shit dd15 engine in them. and the peterbilts are isx cummins. im not sure on the newest cascadias.

those caterpillar engines are fucking beast. too bad they quit producing truck engines but i cant blame them with the way the epa is doing them nowadays.
