it's a worthless piece of crap unless you're doing NO2 so I wouldn't waste money on it

An engine with acarburetor can be affected by spacers, but what would be the point of a spacer with a fuel injected engine?

The spacer on carbs just gave an added inch for the air to get straightened up, turbulant air is bad for the engine, unless its designed for turbulant air, it should have no real effect on a FI engine since the intake manifold is a surge tank (Japanese name) to help smooth the air flow out, now, a spacer between the intake and head, I would give that a try.

How about the guys who use the four throttle system from Toyota Levin on their Hondas. No surge tank, ya baby.

It also helps the carb stay a bit cooler and that improves performance as well.

I also heard it may make your intake a little louder

theres a "whistle" around 2-3k and usually anytime at WOT. it sounds a little like a turbo and makes a neat "psh!" sound when i hit the gas after shifting gears. just enhances the natural intake sound i think. id rather not have it.
