1-remove egr valve.
2-plug hole with JB weld.
3-I cut a small 3 inch section from the bottom of the egr tube, bent it over a couple of times, and screwed the fitting back on the long tubes.
4-remove all egr sensor crap. I call it weight reduction and the way to change plugs quicker.
5-tuner can burn chip to turn off codes for these sensors.
6-driving with the sensors unpluged doesn't seem to hurt performance if you don't have a chip.
7-If tuner turns off codes you can pass an emmisions obdII test which only checks for codes.

why are people buying these spacers from JDM to reduce blower heat in the upper plumn?
But, I think I am with easterisland; I am heading out to put my stock pully back on

nobody ever said that pullies don't work, I just said that I question the real gains realized by removing the egr system.
people are buying plenum spacers because they have run out of other things to buy.
later,

Hey Chris; you know there are some people who always have to have something they are working on/changing; even if it is not for a big gain. But, It could be just another piece of the puzzle in the game of speed. The reason I am interested in getting rid of it is due to it being a heat source in a place we don't need anymore heat.
As far as it being "illegal" I don't think the law provides for replacing the stock cats for a set of long tubes and high flow cats on a brand new truck either. Not to even talk about using a chip.

The point
The EGR valve doesn't open during idle or WOT. The ammount of heat it is generating is very minimal. Yes it's a small piece of hot metal, but it doesn't generate much heat.
The SC generates a TON (that a metric ton
) more heat than the contact with the EGR tube.

I'm glad you don't like chips, pullies, long tubes, and quick trucks. You must drive a Prius or one of those funny looking Honda hybrids...
