welcome to the forum! if you can't do it right, with a block off plate, maybe cut that EGR pipe that's on there and roll/squeeze/weld it shut (leave a stub if you can picture it) but that's ugly.

Well that would just be the ultimate rig job.

You can find EGR block off plates for next to nothing on ebay...

Instead of using rtv try and use some jb weld. Or exhaust paste. They will hold up to the heat as rtv will not. Or go to your local exhaust shop and have them fill the void. Gl

seriously go under your couch and grab all the change and buy these, I'm sure you can come up with this small amount. Your talking about doing a half *** job, to only save $15. If it was a couple hundred it would be differnet.
