That works well also. I didn't have any to sacrifice so I just turned them
out of aluminum. They really don't have to be perfectly flush, you just have to
upset the resonant chamber.

I've made my own plugs, from the stock smog injectors. I did this with
the cylinder head off the engine, in order to make the plugs flush with
the ports. Basically, I cut the injectors at the bottom to extend just a
bit into the port chamber, and cut them above the threaded end. I tapped
them to accept a steel bolt, then cut the assembly partway up the
injector thread to seat inside the cylinder head. I ground a slot in the
top so I could thread the assembly into the cylinder head with a slotted
screwdriver. The hard part is grinding the bottom to be flush and smooth
with the cylinder head port wall. When you're done, insert them with a
screwdriver, and screw in a small plug above as insurance that all stays
in place. No more whistles.
