I just bypassed the system on my car and when I had a tune/chip it eliminated it from the program. It will make futur maintenace alot easier too so its a win
win.

thanks for the info John. one day if i do chip/tune my car that would a good idea but in the meantime i got some good silicon 5/8 heater hose and put a splice
in the middle and hooked it back up. there already is a small rubber tube that comes off of the egr tube so i figured that my fix should hold up in the
meantime. also we don't have aircare here but i am sure one day it will come and then i will need the egr hooked up.

That is not a rubber hose. The EGR tube gets very hot as it is subject to exhaust gases so that is a silicone hose designed to handle the heat. Make sure the
heater hose can handle the temps.
