I would just find somthing to fit. Your best bet is to cut them off and weld in a patch.

I used 1/2 NPT pipe caps on mine. You can get them from the hardware store.

Thanks for the picture but I am looking to remove everything including the pipe that you have capped off.I just want to plug the the opening on the headers themselves.

Rather then cutting and messing up the coating, sell them and get a set of 2151 Hookers.

Just cut them off with a grinder and have someone weld them closed. Just tape around the area when grinding and welding, then paint the spots with a paint similar in color to the coating on the headers.

Sorry I misunderstood your post, I thought you were wanting to cap the air pipe off, not remove it completely.
