No, why?!?!?!

Who have you been talking to?!?!?!?! All of my cars have always had EGR installed and functioning. I don't care what anyone says. If they say different, they're lying!!! And I've always had cats on my cars too, so there!!!
Just FYI, if you do remove it, the DPFE will not be happy unless you remove the EGR sensor function from the chip.
