I cut those sections out for a few reasons:
Reduced warpage Improved spark plug access Less heat around the wire/boots Better appearance Less unnecessary weight
Never had a leak since I started doing that decades ago.

Yep cut them, but I wouldnt cut them until your headers are all welded up. You probably know that already.
