The converter is halfway down the car. I'd have to run some fairly long piping. If it were simply off the manifold as most newer cars are I'd agree that would be a better option. Also, if the EGR is bypassing the throttle and there is a small amount of O2 in it, thats not a problem and might even be a good thing as I can actually use that to lower pumping losses even further by using more EGR.
