Its not the EGR. Its the Secondary Pulsed Air Injection, and the "bulb" thingy is just a resonator (muffler). Its part of emissions. Leave it on unless it cracked, broken or otherwise not working. It doesnt effect performance and will help keep your cat in better condition.

Ok I was just wondering if it could be deleted because the engine compartment on my truck is covered in oil I think it has a leak down by the fan cause its on the hood to but I'm trying to clean up the layout of the wires and things the previous owners ran and trying to find the leak also going to swap the battery over to drivers side so the intake can be shorter and out of the way of all the heat sources
