It's to cover up the hole when you remove your air control valve. If you still have a catalytic converter then you'll need it.

No gains, it is just an emissions thing.

If you fill in the holes completely and smooth them down you could get a little bit of a boost.

what? how? vac pressure can't go up when getting rid of vac using things right? My understanding was it just cleans **** up, but i also heard that u increase misfires/backfires if u get rid of it, ooopsss too late here :sigh: .

I meant to fill in the holes so that air travels ONLY to the intake ports, not to fill up wasted space.
