And the excuse that they clutter up the engine compartment is just ridiculous, look at a Corvette's engine compartment.

My vehicle is registered in Putnam County NY where I own a house. No emission required but if it wasn't found to be necassary on a LT4, I don't need it. Not to mention with my cam, my extra cubes and my supercharger, I think removing a EGR or a air pump are the least of my emissions worries. The biggest reason to remove EGR is due to the fact its prone to leaking and often gets carbon deposit or fails not to mention the solenoid are pieces of crap.
The air pump and tubing also takes up a ton of space that can be used for a nice blower mounting bracket and the headers without the air and egr fittings flow better. The 1 -2 horse that can be found by removing the EGR are really irrelevant (probably not spelled right) but every bit helps in my book.
