Internet, parts store, speed shop. Just depends on how quick you want them. I've seen them at a bunch of places. I think the last ones I bought were only around $6 each.

Awesome!! But Thunder does not carry a plug to plug up the old hole? But 6 bucks is really cheap. I might have to go with them. But any idea on what to plug up the old hole?

You can use a damn bolt to plug the hole, or just use an old O2 sensor.

A bung is the metal threaded hole that welds to the pipe.

You'd have to make sure that the O2 sensor seats well and protrudes the correct amount into the pipe, but it would probably work. O2 bungs are cheap as hell though, I'd just go with that.

The bolt in the hole would work fine, if it falls out, you'll know it.
