And it's pretty cheap if you buy it from the right suppliers. I try to keep one around, so if I use it I just add it to the next order.

I was carefull to take it off but when I did a lil oil was around each of the plenum holes so just get a new one? And when I went earlier to pull codes it said I was misfiring 8 4 2 3 7 and multiple cyclinders so I'm thinking intake leak? Correct me if I'm worng it was also pulling o2 sensor codes heater on 2 and 1 with no sighnal checking connections tomorrow and or testing/replace opinions much needed thanks

I have reused both with no issues, trick is don't bend them and clean both the engine and seal surface before reinstalling.
