Yes, it would sit weird. If you got the TB spacer and it sits funny, just lop off however thick the TB spacer is from the end of the intake with a hacksaw. Be sure to file the burrs and clean the intake VERY well before putting it on. Metal shavings and engines don't mix well.

But, a TB spacer is pointless unless you have nitrous, so save your money.

It doesn't matter what's in his sig. Figure that the TB spacer is going to push you're intake and filter 1 inch towards either fender (I4 or V6). You may get by just fine... but then again save your money.

Throttle body Spacer is useless for a non-nitrous spraying car. Even for a car with nitrous, the only use for the spacer is to use as a block of metal to drill a hole into for the fogger nozzle. For real gains, buy my buddy's direct port spray setup.
