if you plug them you wont get coolant spills everytime you remove your intake.

A new gasket and o-rings will work just fine.

Thumbs up Tricks of the Trade

When i installed the RB intake i used silicone and a one dollar coin to plug them the O-rings tend to leak, and are a pain to line up. And you always have to buy new one's if for any reason you need to take the intake mani off. Use the one dollar coins or quarters they work the best with silicone and fit the hole just perfect. Plus depending on what you use it would only cost you two bucks if you use the one dollar coins or 50 cents if you use the quarters.

But make sure you buy the intake mani gasket!!!
