No, its a crappy system installed on cars to help with emissions etc and generally doesn't do well and gets in the way and is "another thing to go wrong" hence why people simply remove the box and pipes from the manifold and go to ford and buy 4 blanking plugs You'll see it on a zetec manifold like injector shaped metal prongs that protrude from the manifold and run down to a box near the lower part of the engine So to answer your question it doesn't do much, is built onto the exhaust manifold and is to do with controlling/improving emmisions etc Its not important and wont effect the running of the car as long as it is all Completely removed |

I took it off my old Si simply because it did nothing for the car and if it goes wrong then it can screw things up The memory aint too good, a 4-2-1 would remove the need to plug a standard one i cant remember if the box part of the unit is attached to the engine and wired in if im honest you would have to look you have to take the whole unit off, which if i remember is not a hard job  Dont think it 'helps' performance but its not much use and doesn't do much for looks so i'd rip it off |

take off the heatsheild on manifold and you will see 4 pipes, they go into a box, and then a rubber pipe comes out and goes into a valve thats the egr system |

You wont really gain anything from removing it, probably doesn't work anyway, just the fact it makes your engine bay look alot neater. |
