You don't NEED them, but they help. One thing you can do is file down the underside of your intake where the pipe will contact it.

An easy way to do this would be to put a little bit of nail polish or paint on the pipe and gently place the intake back on. This will show all the places where it will contact. They gently and carefully remove this material till it is no longer a problem.

Good luck and rest assured you aren't the first person who has done it this way.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You need the coolant bypass pipe and plugs. It is two plugs that go in the back holes and a crossover pipe that goes in the two front holes. I don't think there's anything else you can do with it. http://home.austin.rr.com/jmx/car/mo...d/install.html
