02 sensor plug for greddy sp2

I have a 95 max with the greddy sp2. there is an 02 sensor bung after the catalytic converter so i have the most annoying exhaust leak NOISE.
i need a plug to fill it but i cant find anything anywhere. i tried the napa around here and the guy working there acted all dumbfounded. his great advice was "just find a bolt that'll fit in there". which i've tried and its not as easy as it sounds. if anyone can help i'd appreciate it.

oh yeha, i forgot to ask, do you think the leak has any effect on performance? i feel like its robbing me of something. probably my sanity because it gives me such a headache lol.
and people try to race me constantly, its rediculous.

Yea, AutoZone here didn't have them either. The guy said we don't have them and asked me why I wanted to plug one up.

find or buy a used O2 sensor to plug it.

If you haven't replaced your O2 sensors nows a perfect time.

Are all 02 sensor threads the same? I do need to replace some I just figured if there was a specific bolt that'd be nicer.
I actually need to replace two I can just never figure out which one to get and I don't trust the idiots at o'reilleys over here

No the leak doesn't affect performance. Go to a hardware store and get a bolt... I believe the size is 18X1.5.

The leak DOES affect performance. Just have it welded shut

I heard an exhaust larger than thes 2.5 inch wide ones effected performance so I figured the leak would too.
I found the bolt. Specifically for this, at a specialty bolt store. However its twice as long as I need. It sticks out a little..I didn't want to screw it in too much.
Ima buy some loc-tite and maybe cut it
Thing cost 5 bucks.
Thanks guys
