    whats and egr?
    and what does it stand for? all i can think of is exhaust gas reburner.
    and im guessing its that thing coming out of the exhaust manifold leading towards the intake??

    and would cutting or clamping this off increase performance at all?

    "The EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. Exhaust gas is routed back into the combustion chamber because the exhausted air is much hotter than the intake air (try touching a muffler sometime). By sending warmer gas into the combustion chamber, the air/fuel mix does not have to do as much work to heat up, and your engine runs more efficiently, producing less emissions."
