Just got a flat top manifold ordered. It does not look like it comes with a plenum or IM to head gasket. Are those the same gasket as USDM? I will be planning on blocking off the EGR as well, would there be anything else to do while I have it off, or during the swap?

 

Buy a EGR block off kit, they fit 94-05, they're cheap, but also easy to fab, trace gaskets and cut. Reuse plenum and EGR gaskets, I've never had a problem doing that. The plenum is square top specific, I'm sure someone will pop in hear with a part number, but I've always reused. EGR gaskets and manifold-to-head gaskets are same as USDM. Reuse intake if it's not shedding it's black, or buy a new one.

Just the first ones I found:

Thanks curly. I plan on blocking off the EGR with a plate, I have blocked off the EGR on the RX the same way since its just 2 bolt holes and I reuse the gasket.
Good to know about the plenum gasket being different, I was going to order a USDM one but at $40 a pop I will double check to be sure. I always put new gaskets in as it is just cheap insurance.
