Check the vacuum hose going to the EGR for cracks or leaks. If none, test the EGR with a hand vacuum pump, may have to take that off and clean it to restore its operation.

Slap another catalatic converter on there, that should fix the problem.

The EGR system lowers Nox. Your EGR valve is not opening or a passage including the valve as Cusser wrote is restricted (blocked) by carbon.
