The tube on my 89 broke the other day, while driving and is now two pieces. If the EGR is eliminated, will the car still pass smog. Thanks for your help.
 
not sure if this applies in your state but here in CA that constitutes a tamper and automatic failure

Doubtful. However, you should be able to take some high temp wrap/tape and bond it back together.
 
I took mine to a muffer shop and had it weilded back. Put some antisize on the ends. Worked great! No issue after 2 years. ;)
 
Thanks for the advice. Another member on this great site is shipping one to me. I used a penny for the tube on the manifold and plugged the other end. Ive noticed there is hardly any boost, but should be back to normal shortly.
