Glad that you finally fixed your problem.
I had egr issues as well. I cleaned that tube out, still had problens for a long time. Issue was finally resolved when I found a kinked air hose on one of the solution valves.
You could have bought the egr tube new for not all that much. Or from a junkyard for a little bit of money and a fair amount of work.

it was behind the upper uim in the back, had a wire and a sensor hooked up to it. and, now you tell me.still seeing some residual white smoke coming out of the exhaust, possible that the cat was damaged? even though i still have no codes i feel like she still holding back a little when i hit the gas. and i still get a little " pop" from time to time.
