EGR is for NOx emissions, not for FE. It often has very little moving parts itself because airflow through it is regulated by a throttle someplace else on the engine. If you have EGR, get rid of it, if you dont DONT ADD IT.

by the way, the adjustable grille is awesome. I am going to "borrow" some ideas from that.
This is a pretty strong first post... Do you have any references to back up your claims?

Edit: Clearly, you're referring only to EGR on a diesel engine, correct? If that is, in fact, the case, disregard my call for references.
