There are a ton of these threads on this site for how to block off that resonator. Everybody on here has their own personal way of doing it, with a constant of using a Jimmy Cap, test plug, or rubber bushing. I went and bought one of these test plugs at Pep Boys, and I found that it was just a tad bit too big to fit in the MP. I played around and found out that it fits into the resonator itself, though. I actually like that its too big for the MP, because that eliminates it falling down inside with the turbo. Right now the the nut is the only thing that could fall in there, but its got me thinking how to make this better.

My question is, why are we all trying to fit something into the MP hole where you have a possibility of something falling in, and not trying to figure out a way to just block of the resonator.

Right now I'm messing around with ideas with what you could use at Lowe's and Home Depot.

thats the only way i do them
