Default What is this?
Hey everyone,

I just have one quick question about a part, someone on my facebook pointed out to me that i have some type of "thing" on my heat shield. I posted a photo below, its the part the copper pipe connected to it. Anybody know what it does?

Looks like an EGR valve to me. Exhaust Gas Recirculation

EGR valve is correct. Treat it like gold. They are on intergalactic back order. We've even sold all our used ones!
