Default Need "02" 3.8 EGR tube or how to make one

I have a 2002 Camaro 3.8 and it has those stainless steel corrugated tubes, one from exhaust manifold to EGR, and one from EGR to the intake. I can’t find one anything on the internet, that will fit. If I cant buy, then I will have to make it, what kind of flare block should I use and would any stainless corrugated tube work?

These do not go bad often. You should be able to find one at the junk yard. They have a connected system to other yards, If they don't have they should be able to get it. ITs the kind of part that you-pull it yards sell for next to nothing.

What happen to it that you could not reuse the existing flanges?

The egr valve was disconnected when I purchased the car. I'm not sure why, both tubes were missing. I just figured it would be better hooked up than not. I've about decided to just leave it disconnected. I just don't like check engine light being on. I may have to just get it tuned

Replacing the hose from a wrecking yard will be a lot less money than a tune.

Also under normal driving the EGR can save you Gas.
