You will have the same negative issues associated with not having one installed.(typically hot start issues and mpg) I tested this when I did all of the exhaust testing on the dyno back home. I also tested the smog pump as well. 0 power loss at all rpm ranges both EGR and smog pump. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
