i think you can remove the egr assembly and block off the hole in both the intake and exhaust manifold

Polish them yourself. That's what I'm doing. Once I'm done with that, I'm gonna get my spare valve covers and CAI powdercoated black

if you have to ask how, then you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself. do some searching on Google on metal polishing. you'll find tons of info.
