The Cobra/Mach one plate fits fine, I have the Jegs plate on my Marauder.
 
I blocked it off and I wished I didn't, keep everything connected and turn it off with a tune.
 
Ok I’m curious why you blocked off the egr and regret it now? I’m just trying to understand why some builds delete it and others keep it.
 
When working properly the EGR system cools combustion temperatures and aids in complete combustion at part throttle!!:beer:

Above 3/4 throttle (low intake vacuum) it is turned OFF and has no effect on performance!!:burnout::D

When not functioning properly it can cause drivability problems!!:argue:
 
All true... Introducing NOX into the combustion chamber does have benefits for cooling the combustion chamber.
It also dumps a lot of soot and fuel deposits into the intake track. If your running a centri or turbo no big deal but if your running a PD I can see the need to delete it.

I deleted mine since the Trilogy

I deleted mine simply to clean up the engine bay plus it was pretty much the last emission part left besides cats.

I don’t care for the stink from breathers however. I ended up adding a breather tank that I drain out maybe twice a year. Mounting down low on the frame certainly helped with the stink but it didn’t rid all of it.

I may go back to the EGR someday. I’ll just re route it somehow so it’s out of sight.

I made my own block off plate/fuel regulator holder out of aluminum L channel cut and polished to fit.

I get more smiles per gallon, and never noticed a smell change. Only difference is the car doesn't rev crazy on cold start.

Removing functioning parts from an engine bay because they don't look nice has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. For a concourse trailerqueen maybe, but on a car that sees the streets? Makes no sense.
My battery looks pretty lousy. I hate the way the HVAC blower motor protrudes from the firewall. And all those nasty wires and hoses, bleh! Who needs 'em?! But to actually rip them out because they're ugly? Moronic.

Using your wisdom would change the world of hot rodding and customization pretty much to a moot point... Especially on cars that see maybe 500-1000 miles a year like mine and many others here.

Going out on a limb here, but are you one of those “good enough” type of guys? Sorry but I like many others here might have higher standards in life.
