when you remove your emissions, youll have a huge *** hole in your intake. The plates will seal off this mother of all vacuum leaks. Actaully the same goes for any vac leak.

They were well made, and easy to instal - You can also make your own. And yes, there are quite big holes after you remove the emisions stuff. But sure does make it less complicated to re-do vacum hoses =)
