smog tube

I closed two of these. One time I just took a vice and crimped it shut, then a few months later my friend welded it shut.

I also took a high temp heater hose, put it on the end of the pipe and screwed a bolt into the other end to cap it.
 
Crimp it and JB weld it will be perfect. Just crimping it took away the whistling for me.

Pypes and BBK told me that you can leave it open and it won't hurt anything if you can withstand the supple whistle it produces.
