10000x better than mine But it looks like you actually put work into them... hehe. I used a hack saw to cut mine from 1/8 aluminum and then a file to dull the edges.

If you block off the ACV, you don't need to block off the other two...I only have the ACV blocked off and have had no problems. IF they needed to be blocked off, I'd have one hell of a vacuum leak

IMO it looks better with it all blocked rather than big holes in the manifold.
