first off CAPS hurt my eyes awwwwww. and secondly the only things i would do to alter the emissions is exhaust and intake, there is much more that would affect all that much, i live in california so i have to leave all my stuff on, kinda sucks.

depends on the state vehicle law. Its not worth removing unless the cat plugged.

Some states dont have emissions, but still look to make sure everything is in place, some states dont do anything.

Why remove anything? You're not going to see noticeable gains in power, fuel economy, etc. Also, as a rule of thumb, when typing IN ALL CAPPS!!!! people think you're "yelling". It's easier reading with normal punctuation.

THE EGR SYSTEM CAN BE REMOVED

....but, it may affect your O2 sensor readings.

Wouldn't the 02 make the necessary adjustments? I removed my EGR about a week ago and all I noticed is that my "turbo lag" is gone...thank God....
