I am desperate here. I just put in my headers and can finally register it on the 20th. I cannot find anywhere that has (2) 22mm X 1.5" plugs to block of the AIR ports. I have called all of the car parts and hardware stores in Oklahoma (where I had a friend to pick them up for me) and no one had any. Please help!

You have 2 options Brian. 1 pull the headers off and get them welded shut. 2. Go by a BMW dealership and ask for the oil drain plug from a 80's-90's model 3 or 5 series or try the junk yard 1st. Supposedly that's the exact fitting for our headers and I remember that from way back but never verified it but many others have.

Isn't a spark plug a similar size? I know it has the 1.5mm thread but I am not sure of the diameter. I may be way off on this one. SRZ had a good point with the BMW drain plug also. It would look way better than a spark plug sticking out.

Sweet. I will cehck for the BMW plugs. The closest I have come is a 1/2" plumbing plug from Hela, but it is way too small. I will try the sparkplug idea to.

Thanks
