nah i know it looks like it but it takes it's warm air from the side of the engine not the manifold. it just sits above the manifold. you can either leave it, or rip the whole egr system off and plug the hole where it mounts to the engine, entirely up to you

pumps warm air into the intake when the engine is cold. not needed, just bin it.

My theory goes that if it doesn't make the car faster then it should be ditched..
Bin the EGR
