Default O2 sensor plugs
Going to be installing my dresser duals here soon and was wondering if there are any local places I can get these plugs for the O2 sensor ports? I have a PC-V so the O2 sensors are not needed.

Any particular material these plugs need to be made of?

Go to NAPA & get the 18mm exhaust plugs. They fit my 09 FLHX exhaust & I just put HT copper on the threads before tightening...Cheers!

I put an 06 take off exhaust on my 04 and I got the plugs off E-bay. Lots of choices. I got the stainless steel with the allen head. Worked great.

you can leave the sensors in the headers and just leave them unplugged

I haven't tried this, but others have reported that a Toyota drain plug (#90341-18016) will work as an O2 sensor plug and it is very inexpensive. Use some anti-seize compound on the threads before installing just in case you want to reinstall the O2 sensors some day.

You might want to run a tap through the sensor holes. My pipes had been drilled/tapped and then chromed. I was unable to get the plugs in untill i tapped them out. They are 18x1.50 The standard spark plug size
