So could someone describe to me where abouts this EGR valve is? Though I have no issues, it could probably be a great idea to clean it out.
But you will still want to "flush" the tranny. Trust me, you'll see better fuel mileage even on the first flush. City driving used to net us 230/240 miles; now we'll get an avg of 280 easy. Sitting @ 250 right now with a tad less than a quarter fuel gauge left (cuz we all know that @ the quarter hash mark there isn't a quarter tank left). LOL
Good luck!

Hey! awesome RMR heat-shielded sri there! I got one too; except mine has rusted alot on the bottom lower sheet metal. Needs a good sanding and new paint.
Thx alot for the pics! I'll probably do a cleaning this weekend.

lol yeh its a nice intake. Soon it'll be replaced with my turbo setup though 
yeh, cleaning this out is def worth doing from the looks of things. Maybe i will even save on gas. lol
i get about 270 city miles on a full tank, so maybe with this, plus the tranny flush i will get even more

man--dont know if this has already been suggested but mine did the same thing and it turned out that i painted my intake and dumbass me left a little piece of painters tape on the pipe which stuck on the honneycomb of the MAF -- took it off and it was fine.
