I still haven't gotten around to a pressure test. But now the delete leaks sometimes even when it isn't below freezing.

I started looking at egr deletes again, and read-up on Super Duty Services's offering. If you have an early model intake manifold with the bridge across the back they charge an extra $150 for the core because they don't use them. So it got me thinking, are there any advantages/disadvantages to swapping out to a late model manifold? Like maybe being able to remove it without pulling the turbo? Would it be easier to get to the IPR and IPC? Would I be able to use my 03 egr cooler with the newer manifold?
