I think it stands for "Evaporative Gas Recovery", or something like that.  I had one go out on my 1994 Bonneville before I traded it in for my Cobalt.  The part was less than $30, but I got raped on the installation ($150).

any idea if i have it? i really doubt it becasue all of the headers i have been able to find say without EGR and i havenot found one that says with EGR

I doubt you have the EGR since:

1.  None of the ones you are looking at have accommodations for it.

and

2.  My 03 doesn't have it.

The best thing to do though is to take a look at your exhaust manifolds and see if there is any extra plumbing attached to them.

alrighty now can anyone recommend a quality set of headers for  a good price?

Edelbrock website shows part # 65022 good for '01-'08.  USMC and I just put them on our trucks.  They are ceramic coated and fit very well.  Summit has them $350 to your door.

well before all you guys think about going out and getting those EDELBROCKS read this. Just talked to summitracing.
Those specific shorties only the the 2006's and down. They arnt sure if they will fit the 08's just Edelbrock said they wont, but i will be calling Edelbrock tomorrow to find out. The same ones made specific for the 08's in ceramic almost cost double of what USMC's did haha
