some companys sell block off plates for the long tube headers, and Im sure that they will fit the stock manifolds. I dont know of any off the top of my head so you might have to search the sponsors for those plates

ok maybe i wasnt clear lol
the EGR and AIR have been off the car for about 2 years now, i have emission headers with the tubes for egr and air welded on, i have block off plates on there right now. i want to take these headers and turn them into race style headers to give me more room to get at thigns. i want to cut the tubes off that are on the headers and put something there to keep me from getting an exhaust leak until i can get it welded

I just welded up my flp's. someone misled my on a sales ad, so I cut the bung off, with a little nub showing. Then I plug welded the tubes shut & ground them smooth. I also painted them, that did'nt work very well. They look a hole lot better though.
