Default intake removal

has anyone removed thier intake manifold for porting? do you need to replace the gasket set. reason is gm just tripled the price of the gasket set from 58.00 to 168.00 and thats through fred beans with the discount.

I've removed it about 10 times and never bought new ones or had a problem.
