well i recently bought a S14 and it came with the EGR deleted and it was not sealed properly so it has a leak now i am thinking of purchasing a header along with full exhaust witch is 3in back and 4in(OMG!!!) muffler...now i have the option of putting the EGR back on or just purchasing the exhaust let me know of your pros and cons of having the EGR on the car.... or why not to buy this exhaust

Edit: the guy said the muffler sounds great but gets loud on open throttle runs if i do end up buying it i will prolly put a resinator on it

and i live in florida so i have no emmision standards

If there's no emissions then all I see are pros and no cons. Do it, just don't get caught.

like the other people said, its not legal. it can also throw a code depending on the year of your car.

pro: it will remove like 8oz of weight from your car.

no cons with no emissions.

However, 3in exhaust is (in my opinion) too big for N/A.

Unless you want sound, and not power.

I use to say the same thing, but the "3" exhaust is too big for the ka24" myth has been killed so many times over for the last 6-9 yrs. Go 3".
