Default EGR tube leak

The tube is shot and needs to be replaced. Any tips on where to get a new?

It's a 94 ZR-1 with Watson headers and Corsa exhaust. received_839573393244796.jpg20200828_173703.jpg

Another question is: Do I need the EGR at all? My old 91 ZR-1 did not have it.

If you are not required to have it for emissions inspection, then eliminate it. Plug the hole in the exhaust and plenum.

Looks like quite a job removing the pipe completely, so can I leave it there (for now) if I disconnect it..? Just to avoid driving with the leak until I eventually get a new one (fear the emission tests might be troublesome?).

There will not be any codes to deal with if we do this?

Finally, where do I get new parts to fix it?

Hi NorwegianMopar!

Are you sure your EGR tube is "shot?"
I see the outer heat shield with crimped
solid inside tubing. It all looks secure.
Mark Haibeck taught me that the connector
is called an Oetiker clamp and uses a special
tool to crimp. Interesting to look up.
Removing your EGR system because
you don't need/want the smog option
is another issue.
Good luck!

PS: Looking at your pictures again I think
I see a crack in the outer (heat) shielding.
Is that what you are talking about?
Not a problem, or at most maybe apply
a wrap of heat resistant tape.

My mechanic said there are cracks in the tube upwards from the end we see in the pic and that it needs to be replaced. Quite a job it seems.

Marc Haibeck has the parts I need, so I guess it has to be done. NOX w/o EGR in my car will be twice the level of a 92 that doesn't have EGR if I remove it - bad when trying to pass the emission control...

Typical my luck just 500 miles or so after it had a full tune up and service at Haibeck's last summer...
