    air suction pipe?

    what is the pipe callled that runs from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold? what is it's use, and what would happen if it was removed?

    stupid question, i know, but maybe someday it'll all add up.

    you can delete it, but you will probably flunk visual inspection on emmissions testing. Just cut the pipe 2 inches from the manifold fitting and roll the end like a toothpaste tube, lots of hammering, welding optional.


    All it does is vent fresh air into the exhaust pipe in between cylinder firing. I believe the purpose of this is to make the catalytic more efficient (or to cheat on emmissions tests!) . It runs on a reed valve setup under a certain RPMs...

    The egr also known as Exhaust gas recirculation system is supposed to dilute the fuel-air mixture to lower the NOx production under combustion.
