Default EGR valve, keep it or toss it?

I need some answers from people with experience with EGRs and their h22. Im putting an h22 in my eg now and besides it throwing a code, is their any other reasons WHY i should keep it on the car?? I dont like the idea of exhaust gas being recirculated back into my intake manifold. I was thinking of just leaving it unplugged.

Any advice?

if not, screw it.

The car shouldn't run bad with out the EGR hooked up, but if you do want to attempt to pass emissions then its a must.

All its meant to do is reduce nitrogen oxides and it can only do this by recirculting through the combustion chambers in the intake manifold. I don't see why you wouldn't want it to be hooked up.

I have the EGR hooked up on my car, and it just feels good knowing that your engine is not throwing any codes, and that is running perfect.
