looking for some help.

I noticed my car is a little lower on power but contributed it to the cold and illinois diesel. However i also noticed recently that if i am in a lower rpm (say around 2k) and floor it, there is some sputtering. Almost like an exhaust leak.

Im planning on pulling the intake for a cleaning and deleting the EGR and EGR cooler. At that time i will be able to replace some seals and gaskets. What should i look for?
