All the V6s have EGR regardless of the year.

What DTC is it?

Not having a EGR wont cause the problems your having. I deleted mine and all I had to do was shut the light off for SES that it was giving me. I would get that CAT checked out. The DTC is a diagnostic code that is given when something fails. Our cars have pages of them for when stuff goes wrong.
