Default 5.2 magnum exhaust

Ok so I'm looking at headers on eBay. 71 bucks for a set of stainless headers, awesome. But... None of the ones I've found have a provision for the egr to bolt on. So what do I do? .I really don't want to cut and weld on a set of new headers. And yeah guys, I know, cheap eBay headers, Chinese knock off, blah blah heard all the arguments. I just know they'll look good and can't possibly hurt the performance e on an engine with 224k on it

Skip the EGR? Just put a block-off plate where the valve goes? Welding something on would likely be your only other option.

Is blocking off the egr pipe where it bolts on to the manifolds going to affect mogs, power, driveability? One good thing about Michigan is nobody inspects or emission tests our vehicles so I don't have to worry about that

If you go highway, the EGR helps fuel economy when working right.

This sucks, why can't these cheap companies put the damn egr pipe on the headers. 71 dollars for a set of polished stainless headers without egr from eBay, or 300+ for pacesetters and they're just mild steel painted black....no shiny
