I think I am in the "Black List" U know what I mean . Anyway, Mpart email as follow:
David, the plate your interested in, is it the same as shown on my site or do
you have a new shape?
if its the same as the one shown then I need to make them in 40 pieces per order
for a group buy, $20 each shipped........or for 20 pieces $25 each shipped...
Keith, what is your plan for removing the EGR? Share the wealth! As far a I know, you dont need to remove the header in order to EGR plate. Its tight, but you will need to jack the car up.

Actually, I found out the T3 Turbo oil flange will work. Its almost the same size. Check it out in ebay... its about $5.00 I have an extra EGR pipe and a dead T3 and home and compared. It will work..

Hello Everyone,,
Well to help with 2 situations,
1st,,,I am cutting a Shim Plate to send to Philly PA ,,,For a Ryan...And If Jamie ?? I think it was will contact me,,I will send one to him as well....Both of you have contacted me..And as I told Ryan,,I will send him 1 Free of Charge...Same for you Jamie?Jason? Then these blokes can let you all know what i am talking about,,Ok..
There may be enough movement in the Exhaust side of the pipe to possably remove the 2 x 12mm nuts and lever it up to place this shim in,Ok....As the Flex part of the EGR pipe is at the Exhaust side.
2nd.....I promise to get my finger out and complete the Headers WITH EGR pipe join for yous,,Ok...
I am just trying to work out the easiest way for you's to be able to fit them (But you will have to remove the EGR pipe for the Install of these Headers,Ok)As there is gunna be a Mod you will have to do to the EGR pipe...Is that Ok by everyone ??
Cheers Blokes.

We so quickly forget (or at least I did) that the US spec cars are actually quite different from the others! Damnit!

I used to make them for rotary engines (cost me about .70 cents each to produce), and I remember complaining when people charged $10 - $12 bucks for one a few years ago. Man times have changed. $35 bucks.....WOW! Get me some vasiline!!! I hope its gold plated, with all the gaskets. Does it have a Lexus logo on it or something? God I love owning a Lexus....when even a block off plate is overpriced just becaus of the name. If that price is in AUD, then I retract these comments, as that would put it at a fair price. A honest price is $15-$20 US for a finished and produced piece, powdercoated.
I think I'll take Blown SC up on his generous offer and send him some beer money as a return gesture. Now I just need to find the closest bank to convert some cash.....

![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So after reading this thread I still have not been able to figure out what the consensus says...
Does blocking off the EGR give more HP? Does anyone have proof, like a dyno run?
The info stated in this thread seems to make sense (colder intake air), but some argue... why?
Is this a reasonable mod for me, considering I have all stock internals (just for now), i.e. will it do ANYTHING for performance?
And finally... What is ths talk about power from a cold engine?! My Lex owner's manual asks that you at least give 'er 10 sec. from start up to putting it in gear (which I always try to do)!
I treat my car like my woman...
I give her regular attention, and occasionally splurge on 'er (even if I don't have the money!)
I always warm her up properly before going to town! :P I never race a cold engine...
and I PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL!
...but then again, just like with women, the car doesn't always tell you what's wrong or what she want, you're just supposed to know!
