Going to order this and try it out. I have a generic plastic hardware store cap in there right now that only sort-of fits.
Yes sirdo you mean one of these?
I wasn't real crazy about using a rubber stopper on mine. Wanted something a little more OEM looking. So I looked around for rubber plugs to be used on sheet metal holes. Found a company online that had them in a zillion different sizes. I attempted to measure the hole but just couldn't get a tape measure on it. So, using the tube that came out, I estimated it to be 1 1/8" hole. That equates to about 27mm. So, I ordered 25mm, 27mm, and 29mm just to be sure I'd have it covered. Nice thing, is the company mentions something about free samples. Hmmmm. So, I call them, and the gal is like sure, we can send you some samples. What's the name of your company? Umm, I'm just a guy, just be for myself. She's like ok. Gets my info to send them. I ask, well, how much are they, the plugs? She says, well we have a minimum quantity of 500 and they're 34 cents apiece. I'm like sounds great, I'll let you know. Thanks. Umm, don't think I'm gonna order 500!!
So, tonight, had my wife pop this one in as I couldn't get my hand down there. She dropped a 29mm somewhere (still can't find it) and got a 27mm to go in. It looks a little small, but it will stay just fine. I'll yank my strut tower braces off so I can get to it better and get the 29mm in there, I think it'll fit much tighter. Just didn't feel like messing with it too long tonight, it was only 3 degrees in the garage.
The website I found them on is www.caplugs.com I would also think a regular parts store should be able to order something like this too for maybe a couple dollars apiece. I will have a few extra of these after I see if I can get the 29mm to fit in more snug. If that is the case, PM me with your address and I'll throw one in an envelope and send it to you. At best, I'll have four extras, 1-29mm and 3-27mm. The 27mm which is what is in the following pic is fine, but the 29mm may be a better fit. First four to send me their info, I'll send the extras out to after I double check which one fits the best on mine.
One of their local sales reps called me today, following up on my 'samples' order. Customer service, huh, something a certain exhaust company who makes a very popular add on could take a lesson from. Anyhoo, I told her there was no way I would ever need the minimum order amount of 500 pieces. Only $0.34 apiece though! Anthony, if you zoom in, I took the pic so you could read the part numbers. The 29mm fit nice. Another member measured the hole at 30mm, but I just couldn't get a trustworthy measurement which is why I ordered the three different sizes. I don't remember seeing a 30mm listed, but just wasn't looking that big either. Hopefully, since your company deals with them already, maybe you can get a non standard smaller order.
29mm fits great. The 27mm goes in but us definitely a bit looser. It'll stay, but the 29 is real good.
That's the method I used. While you are loosening the nut off the overly long bolt you just need to relax and go to your happy place. It eventually comes off. What an annoying, wasteful POS that sound tube is!do you mean one of these?
The AirRaid does come with a cap for it as well as a cap/plug for your firewall.
could prolly save the same amount of time off ur run if u just took a crap before you got in your car. LOL
I make all my runs naked. Saves a couple more pounds and .00000000000000002 off my ET. ;)
