I usually change mine, but then again I get into enough trouble without having to chase down self-inflicted air leaks.

I have the original intake gaskets on my engine...it is 10 years old with 222,000 miles on it now. The intake has been on and off a number of times plus three different sets of heads and cam swaps. They are still working fine. I bought a new set years ago but have never used them. I would say the the life span of LS series engines intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets (yes they are the originals too) is very long...
