I was going to replace my seals myself, but there is an engine lifting lug in the front that is in the way nececitating disassembly of the air intake pipe as well. That bolt also holds the coolant pipe leading to the thermostat, so you'd need to be careful not to cause a leaking of coolant. You will need Gray sealant for the corners of the gaskets. There is a gasket needed when replacing the intake manifold. And one for the aluminum air intake pipe that blocks the bolt in front holding the lifting lug.
Due to a lack of time to do it, I opted for my Indy to do the job for me. (Discretion became the better part of valor.)
For proper part numbers (except for the corner sealant which is NLA) I always go the esaabparts.com site. I can consult my bill for part numbers if you have trouble finding the correct parts numbers. As below, mine is a 2000 9-5 SE V-6 with 134K miles.
