Default EGR giving me fits, can I bypass it?

Guys,
EGR code..."low egr flow" says the check engine light;
Is there a way you can bypass it or disengage it?
Thanks for your input,
Joe

You will always have the code if you bypass it.

Why not remove the intake and clean it out?

IT would be interesting to see how the car would run (better or worse) with the EGR bypassed....Just a thought, but Tech is right, you would always have the light on
