Question Another EGR delete question

I have read alot of posts re: this topic but can't find what I need to know.

I ordered the EGR delete pipe and have not installed yet. The pipe is the one without the "Y". Won't this leave an open connection to the EGR system where the exhaust flow used to be directed? What are my options for blocking this off? I don't want to leave it open to suck dirty air into the intake if the EGR opens right?

The delete pipe should come with a cap that's held on by the existing clamp at the back of the EGR cooler.

I read in another post about Spartan Diesel discovering that leaving the EGR active increases fuel economy. I don't want my EGR actively functioning, but would sure love better economy. If I got the Sneaky pipe and left the EGR active....would this solve the problem..for now?

WOW...please post the link about the EGR being active increasing fuel economy.

I have had my EGR cut off for a while now with the delete pipe installed and my MPG has been the same as ever 15-16 city and 17+ HWY.
