Plugging o2 tube on x pipe

[jdevs1]

I'm looking for ideas on how to plug the o2 tube on an x pipe. The one that was on car was crimped closed. Going to thread bolt in, if anybody ever done it, do you remember the size bolt you used? Or any other suggestions on how to plug it that doesn't require welding would be appreciated. Thanks.

why not just get it welded? Im sure an exhaust shop would do it cheap. Theres really nothing to thread a bolt into.

My old X pipe had the tube crimped flat and it worked. My current X pipe doesnt have the tube.

Yeah I don't think it would be that expensive to get it welded...

It's not a matter of price.
I don't want to drive it with it open and blowing hot exhaust right next to fuel lines.

I crimped mine shut. I was being lazy and didn't want to take it back out for the 50th time and weld it.

buy a oxygen sensor plug http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/30741/10002/-1
or use an old oxygen sensor and cut the harness

He's not talking about the sensor, well I don't believe he is any way. I believe he is talking about the O2 injection tube.

Go to the parts store and get a rubber coolant pipe cap (No it wont melt) and a hose clamp.

crimp it then drive it to an exhaust shop. You can cut the tube first.
