better off leaving them off cause they wont like it if you root around with your pollution gear

alternatively to be legal you could get an exhaust shop to plug the two together and not worry if a cop looks under the bonnet

yeah depends how tight they are

if you car was meant to have the EGR pollution bullshit when it was made, then its supposed to have it, no other way around it really.

best thing you can do is make ya car stock as possible for the inspection then if you feeling like breaking some laws put all ya go fast bits on afterwards and try not to get inspected

Some pipes have the place to screw ya egr pipe into.
But it is blocked so its like its not conected.
Its NOT illegal to have a set of pipes on ya car unless the noise is over the limit.
Adam , correct me if I am wrong.
