Do the zip ties hold up to the heat?
If you look closely at the zip tie closest to the distributor cap, you'll notice that it looks shiny. That's because it has indeed melted some, and sort-of blended with the heat wrap material. But it hasn't broken.

Well, that makes me wonder if the hole could have been brazed closed.

The old EGR tube was actually broken clean in two. Perhaps it could have been brazed with nickel silver brazing rod, using a MAAP gas torch.

I guess it isnxt worth it.  Frankly, the braided EGR tubes have a far superior appearance, and are at least as durable.
