EGR stands for "exhaust gas recirculation." An EGR pipe is a device used to return some of the exhaust from an engine back into the induction system (Reference 1: Overview).
EGR Pipe Benefits
EGR pipes have two major benefits. First, they increase fuel efficiency, which increases convenience and saves drivers money. Secondly, they produce reduced CO2 emissions compared to engines that lack an EGR valve. This may have a positive influence in retarding climate change.
