Default Exotic Muscle Header Question???

Does Exotic Muscle make a set of headers without the AIR tube fittings. I hate to have fittings there if I am just going to plug them. People start to look for things when it looks like something is supposed to be there. So I wonder if they can or do already make a set without the air fittings, but that do have the O2 bungs in place? Anyone know?

The air tube fitting on my EM Headers weren't drilled through the tubes, just welded on. You could cut them off, but it would damage the coating.

Try calling EM, seems like they could leave the fittings off. But, you may have to wait until the next batch of headers are made.

I asked them when I ordered mine during the recent GP. They wouldn't do it.

That's weird I wonder why they won't do it. I guess I will be going with the hookers again then. I can't have some fittings with nothing in them, that will drive me crazy. I can order the 2151's and weld in my own O2 bungs and get what I am looking for. I just rather have the EM's, just for a change if nothing else. I will still call and see what they say. Do they have an email address that I can ask tech questions?

Talk to Trevor at EM, I don't think they will make them without the fittings but they do have some threaded slugs that you can thread into the holes, I ran a set on my car for a while until I had to go through emissions testing, I removed them so I could pass the visual.
