What are you using to block off the Y-pipe?

I have an Efini Y-Pipe and no longer use the port/hose that comes out from the top of it. I think it used to go into the airbox I don't really remember anymore :P

Anyways I've been using 3/4" heater bypass caps to block them off. They're rubber so eventually break open resulting in boost leak. My question is, how do you block yours off?

TIA,

Kevin

well, try this, find a coin, or a metal disk thats larger than the hole in the Y pipe and then put it inside the rubber cap, itll take a lot of the abuse off the rubber, allow it to last a lot longer.
