EGR Plate Required to run ARH Headers with Non EGR Hemi?

[MartyZ]

So to keep a long story short so that I can finish up this horrible project:

2014 Ram 2500 5.7l Hemi
No EGR valve present

I ordered the 2014 & Up ARH header kit from Moe's and upon installing realized I have a new port on the ARH header for an EGR Valve.
My truck is not equipped with one.
The kit did not come with a plate, gasket, or hardware to cover the hole in the ARH header.
Is this something I need to purchase elsewhere?
The internet is failing me on this one.

You would think that after spending almost $2000 on a system that it would come with anything that may be required.
Especially since not all the 5.7's came with an EGR valve.

Edited to Clarify: This was not a stab at Moe's by any means, it was at American Racing Headers for not selling a complete kit.

That hole isn't drilled on your heads. You don't need a plate to cover the hole in the headers.Throw them on with some good gaskets and call it good.

Plate will be needed on #1 primary header tube where EGR attaches

If it were me, like I have had to do in the past, I cut the EGR port off of the primary tube and weld it up. I have also made a small bolt-on block off plate to install with an EGR tube gasket. I've done it both ways.

I ran mine as is, no block off plate with some remflex gaskets. No issues with leaks.

It doesn't leak through the egr tube from the collector?

Did you call ARH? Maybe their years are listed wrong for those headers?

 

[Shelton90]

No sir, my stainless works was the same as well. No leaks running oem 6.1 gaskets on it

After looking at the pic closer, I stand corrected. I think you got the wrong set of headers. Mine don’t have that egr ‘kicker’ off the side #1 primary.

@Wild one Yeah I wasn't very descriptive in my post. I was referring to the header port itself, not where the EGR would go on the motor.
My truck wasn't built with an EGR so the hole in the motor goes to nothing.

I ended up making one out of 1/4 Flat Stock.
I used a piece of cardboard to trace the shape and hole pattern and then transferred it to the metal.
Painted it with some high heat enamel and bought a gasket from O'Reilly's.
