Can this be done with even less labor or expense for people who are lean on basic mechanical ability? Asking for a friend who is too far from me to help her. Would removing and plugging the vac lines get the same affect as long as the EGR wasn't stuck open or is it just not the same result? What about leaving everything in place and just inserting the block off plate? Would that single plate address everything if the whole system remained intact?
Probably, it’s just a metal plate, a core plug may could be used to plug the pipe. I had the vacuum line just plugged and it worked just fine. I just wanted to cleanup the engine bay a bit and remove it. As long as the egr isn’t leaking plugging the vacuum line should work fine.
That clamp will already be on the car. You're just reusing it. It's technically called an "exhaust clamp". Here it's clamping a rather small exhaust manifold.
Didn’t notice any benefit. I already had the vacuum lines unhooked. I just did it to cleanup the engine compartment and just in case the egr was leaking. But I do not think it was.
Where did you get the kit? I can't find a kit specific to the W123.

NM... I finally found a kit. Thanks
Can you send the link?
How come u did not started engine
What is that clamp you used on the exhaust plug called? All the kits I've seen don't come with a clamp.

What noticeable benefit did you notice after doing this modification. I have some idea but I would like to hear your observation. Thank you.

I’m looking to take off the big can that the CA 300SD has it kills a lot of power from the car and creates more heat under the hood
The catalytic converter? Easiest way to remove would be to pull the parts of a parts car.
Was there an exhaust leak with this kit ?
no exhaust leak
What does the egr valve do?
Recirculates exhaust gasses back into the intake to be rebutted. But it causes carbon buildup in the intake.
Is your time worth more than 20 bucks? Could you have made the kit yourself?
I could have made the kit but for that price I’d rather do something else.
@@mjmcomputers sorry, i really do appreciate the video. It was exactly what i was looking for and your video answered a lot of my questions.
Jared Molloy no problem, thanks for watching!
Had fun looking at your head
