I have a mac catalytic y pipe, but I have 02 sims because I used to be running with an offroad pipe.
Right now the cat Y pipe has 2 O2 sensors in it that I'm borrowing just to fill the holes for a while. Does anybody make special plugs or screws to fill the holes?
Thanks,
Jim

I heard spark plugs fit in there nicely. I've never tried it, but thats the rumor.
If not, they make O2 sensor hole plugs...I got mine from thunder racing.

most all auto parts stores sell plugs, they are only metric thread OIL drain plugs! I think they are 18mmX1.25 or 1.50 I got them at advance auto for the 99SS I had with a mac off road y pipe

I've had 18mm spark plugs in them for a year. All the inquiries on "WTF do you have spark plugs in your exhaust?" prompted me to order a set from Thunder Racing. They were like $5 each. I may have been able to get them locally, but I didn't know what to look for *shrug*

Cool thanks guys. Spark plug idea sounds kind of crazy...isn't that how the ricers were rigging up the flamethrower exhaust???

Better yet hook up a coil with a toggle switch, tune the car rich and you will have afterburners... <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I got oil pan plugs from Ace Hardware. I don't remember what they cost but I am sure it was less than a dollar each (and they look like they belong there).
