I looked through the repair, electrical, owner's, and new vehicle manuals and cannot find an EGR valve installed on the FJ Toyota engine, with either MT or AT. It appears emissions are controlled with engine design, an emission control ECU, and a three-way catalytic (TWC) converter.

There are converters on my FJC, 2 near the manifold. Do all FJC's including canada have the same 4 converters. Also, after speaking with the EPA, they say that 50 state emissions adheres to California emissions, and is not required in sates that don't coply to Calif emissions. Per Toyota's responce below:
Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
We are aware there is "no current California emissions program in Pennsylvania" and never made a statement to the effect that Pennsylvania had adopted California emissions standards.
We currently manufacture 50 state emissions vehicles for sale in the United States are they are more environmentally friendly than Federal emission vehicles.
Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
We appreciate the opportunity to address your inquiry.
We built the FJ Cruiser to 50 states emission standards in anticipation of more stringent emissions laws.
So, they are admitting they added additional restrictive emissions as an anticipation of future regulations. This to me says, it isn't illegal to tamper with the additional requirements that don't exist.
