Why would you buy something that you don't know what it will do for you?


The only use for a TB spacer is to use it to mount nitrous spray nozzles, otherwise it's pretty much useless.

I bought it cause a friend has one on his accord and said that it really helped but didnt know that it works better with Nitrous. So its not recommended to install it? Am I going to lose HP?

It does nothing but make noise. For nitrous, it allows you to not have to drill a hole in your intake pipe or an OEM part.

more like a loss of 0.5-1 HP due to additional friction.

Yeah damn son, that's just stupid. I had it dynoed and results were negligible. Not worth the sound that thing makes.
