What about creating a sheet steel gasket without a center hole for the end of the EGR on the exhaust side? That should short end the heat at the source. Passing emissions sniff tests might not do so well though.
IMHO YMMV

Isn't that pretty hard to get to? I thought that was connected to the head and kind of inaccessible due to the intake manifold.
If I could guarantee that I would never have to do a sniff test then I would do that. I haven't had to do one for 3+ yrs but that may change in the future, so I'd like a semi-quick way to put it all back together to pas if need be.
Actually come to think of it, I don't think I have ever had to pass a sniff test. IIRC WA state only plugged an OBDII plug into my port and didn't even do a sniff test. I know they didn't have me pop the hood. I didn't even have to get out of the car. It was like a drive thru setup.
As long as my resistor keeps the CEL off, I'd imagine I'd pass unless they popped the hood.
