Yes, the codes will continue until tuned out.

If you have headers, it is recommended you cut the tube off and not use the block off plate. The use of the block off plate typically results in eventual breakage of the tube.

I guess everyone has their own opinion on this. I have LG Pro's and blocked them off cause I didn't want to weld on the pipe. I had a local custom radiator shop stamp out the plates. They even enscribed a chevy bowtie with the initials "BMF" in the middle of the bowtie on them. I used the original gaskets and stainless steel dome top hex head bolts to attach. No issues.
