yes you can. You'll have to cap it. But when you do I think your computer will throw a code at you.

alittle, we sell an EGR delete kit that has the EGR valve block-off palte, gasket, 2 bolts and a cap for the header bung...now you will get a MIL from this but it should not effect driveability and can be turned off wth a tune....when you delete the EGR you'll have some hoses and sensors to delete as well....on the EGR valve and EGR vaccum regulator, just use some vaccum T's and re-route the hoses back into each other, on the electrical connections that go to the 2 sensors, just tape off the exposed electrical connectors terminals/pins and tie back wth wire ties....now there is NO real performance gain by doing this, it Will Not effect the way the engine runs, it Will lower under hoods temps slighty but for the most part, it just cleans-up the engine bay....

You will need to tune it out to get rid of the mil. You will run a bit leaner without tuning it but its only at part throttle and idle so its no big deal.
