Default Simple Question about headers

im gonna be gettin the race edition headers soon (the ones with no egr or air). and im gonna get rid of egr and air. do i still need the block off plates for the air and egr? I know i need to close the opening for the egr that is next to the throttle body. but besides that, do i need the block off plates?

No, normally people who use the block off plates still have the stock exhaust manifolds.

No block of plates...all you will need is a rubber freeze plug for your intake manifold. I forgot what size though.

I believe I used a 1 3/8" one. Little rubber and brass one with a nut on top.
