Is it diesel or petrol ? I blanked off the EGR vale and removed the particulate filter from my diesel Nissan pick up . It has improved mpg slightly if you drive economically but also improved performance if you want to drive fast as it spins up quicker due to not being restricted . Passed an MOT like it as well .

Td5 diesel

It wont be a CAT then . It will be a diesel particulate filter . I recon my truck runs better anyway .

Never did it on my TD5 as I did not understand the issue at the time; I liken the EGR valve to stuffing a hose up your bum and putting the other end up your nose... nice. Have since done it on a Merc 2.2 common rail diesel, it improves performance and mileage a little but the main reason after 200k miles is to stop the EGR valve throwing a fault code due to becoming gunked up and likewise a gunked up inlet manifold. If you can do it simply with a blanking plate, go for it (I had to add an electronic circuit to fool the ECU that the EGR was still there)

 

With it removed the NOX emission goes up so the 'greens' won't like you. I don't believe its measured on the MOT, certainly not here in France.

Blanking off the EGR valve is a common mod to a Defender, going to be doing it in the new year to my Defender 300tdi. Going to buy a kit, includes the plate and silicone intercooler pipes. There should be a benefit, how much I don't know yet?

I had it remapped about a year ago it gave it more power but since then it blows loads of black smoke out when you give it a foot full or when its labouring, seen the de-cat & egr blanking kits on ebay and wondered if thats worth doing aswell cheers jon
