I only ask because I've been thinking of buying the kit, and would like to clean up the look of the engine a bit. Again, sorry to thread jack.

Well this isnt going to be too informative as I just played with different stuff until I got the results I wanted but rest assured I will never have a leaky Egr pipe again and I didn't have to fork over $100 bucks for a pipe that might crack again.
Now time for some pics.
Culprit....
The beginning the pipe cut and flared
Some High temp Copper RTV.....little overkill but hey taking the pipe out was no fun
Finished product

I have a hard time following your thinking.... a few years back, my 97 pipe leaked, went to sewell and bought a new one and put it on.... finished (done a little write up for the right cat removal... NOW THINK.. the first one lasted 10 plus years and over a 100k miles.... why, WHY are you trying to beat around the bush??? are you really going to be driving yours another 100k, 10+...?? all for a 100$.
confusing to my way of thinking....

According to his user info, El Maestro, the guy who started this thread, rigged up the pipe, and posted the pictures has not posted anything on the forum since October of 2010. I highly doubt we are going to get our answer on if this thing held up to the test of time.
