SAI and EGR delete

[danielson631]

so ive heard EGR deletes on a 4v is no good. is this true?

how about a SAI delete? advantages/disadvantages?

i tried to search forums and ive really come up with just about nothing, specific enough. lots of posts about this for 5.0s but not 4vs



looking to get rid of useless stuff, and clean up the engine bay which is coming along great so far.


btw i know there are no performance gains, and i dont care about the environment, or legally passing the car, i have a guy for that.

Re: smog delete?

only harms performance. im not sure on the emissions equipment on our cars. sorry for the lack of help, but I personally suggest keeping it. our purge canister is hidden in the passenger side fender, so theres no "cosmetic" reason to remove that. the egr is hidden behind the heads, so no reason to remove that... ...

Re: smog delete?

i was more looking towards a smog delete, didnt care to much about egr delete and heard that this causing cooling problems.

Re: smog delete?

Very few modulars have an air pump so, there is nothing there to remove on a '96+ Mustang GT/Cobra.

Re: smog delete?

when i switch to COP's, since the coil packs/wires will be gone, you will be able to see this crap so much more.

this is the smog system correct?

just want this gone, if possible, without harming my engine/ or robbing performance.

Re: smog delete?

we'll need better pictures (or at least i will) my only experience is on my 2004 cobra motor and my 1996 2v. both of which are totally different than your motor (thats why i didnt want to give any concrete information.)


i will look some of this stuff up in my tech book tonight, see what i can find... perhaps you can simply relocate it. looks like fuel line, a tee, and a vacuum line.

Re: smog delete?

alright i thought it might generally be the same on most cars, but i will get better pictures later.

like i said above, the main reason i want to get rid of these is bc once the CP's and wires are gone, these pump things (2 of em) will be right in your face.

thanks a bunch, ill post better pics later

Re: smog delete?

ok heres some more pics. its hard to get the camera to get a good shot of the entire system, but i tried.
sorry if some of them are real crappy

Re: smog delete?

Just remove all that junk, cap off the exhaust manifolds and vacuum lines.
All that does is pump air into the exhaust to help pass emissions. This was big in the '70s, and I had always wondered why some of the early 4Vs went with this "air-injection" system.
