I had custom plugs made for the AIR tubes cost me $70...its 7/8 by 18 fine thread, its a specific thread for automobiles intended to keep the emissions from being removed. As for the EGR I just cut my old EGR tube, put copper RTV sealent inside then bent it over so nothing could pass through it.

Why don't you leave AIR hooked up? It's not going to hurt anything.

What year is your car?

AIR just takes up space, so much better without it. It does nothing to help anyways so why bother.

I searched all over for a plug with the threading I needed and found nothing so I had to have them made at a hydraulics place. As long as they work I'm happy, took a month for me to get it all together due to snow.

That's cool. I was just trying to save you the effort of having to find plugs.
