Where to buy intake (Diverter Valve) plug/caps

Where might I find a 5/8" plug or cap so that I can vent the diverter valves to the atmosphere?

I've checked all the local auto parts stores and they only go up to 3/4" bypass caps.

Thanks!

Home depot or lowe's, ask them for the rubber caps that go on to chairs to protect the floor.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that heads to Lowe's for go-fast parts.

I kid you not, the oil return line for my srt4 is a piece of a faucet water line

a solid piece of a metal dowl cut down would work too. Or have a machine shop mill you a round metal "stopper" plug.

Ok got these put on. Man getting to the back one was harder than I figured it would be. Ended up removing the cabin air filters and the entire cowl as it was locked on there pretty good.

Is there any non-permanent way to remove the flex tubing from the diverter valves now? I zip tied them out of the way for the time being, but I'd rather clean up the job more than that.

If not, no biggie as this is not a good solution for me. Call me a ricer, but these aren't nearly loud enough for me. Granted my last two BOVs were a TurboXS RFL and HKS SSQV.

Looks like I'll be asking the wife for a charge pipe for my HKS SSQV for Xmas...if I can wait that long
