That might work. I'm not sure how that small line would hold up with carbon build up over time.

I already have the current pieces needed to do this. I just don't see it working at all with my wife's current commute. Vehicles don't use EGR until they are at least somewhat warmed up I believe. In her 3 mile trip I doubt the car gets up to a temperature I could use EGR for any reasonable amount of time.

I'd highly encourage others to try this out though. A lot of the new higher mileage cars are using higher flow and/or cooled EGR to get better mileage.
