It is a thermal barrier between the head and the intake manifold to prevent heat soak.

It also blocks off manifold heating/cooling passages. This is not a good idea if you live in very cold climates and daily drive your ride. This is a horsepower modification, not a drivability or a durability one. Dissipation of some of the block heat into the manifold helps cool the block, and decreases some of the temperature differences that the manifold sees from throttle body to block.

Honda designed the manifold and throttle body to be heated by coolant. Modify it at your own risk. You may gain horsepower, and you may not lose anything. But, nobody knows FOR SURE why Honda designed it this way, but I suspect they meant it to do something useful.
