Default REMOVING EMISSIONS...Blocking plates for a 2000?

I am doing a heads and cam install and I am just going to keep the emissions stuff off. On my 2000 there are some tubes that go to my headers and I know that you can get some plates to block them off, does anyone know where I can get them? Ordering them online is not really an option.

Thanks in advance,

Micah

I'd contact the header manufacturer as they'd be the one to have these.

I would reccomend cutting the tubes off and welding shut. Some have had problems with the necks breaking off when using a blocking plate. I just made some blocks for mine until I get them cut and welded.

It ain't necessary, I kept everything on right now and I have the part number from thunderracing.com (thanks englandgreen).
