How can I tell if I have a plenum spacer installed?
Hey,
I bought my car used, nowhere close to the first owner. It has a few basic mods, drilled and slotted rotors, intake, headunit.
I highly doubt it has a spacer, but it would be a shame to buy one and take it all apart just to find that I wasted my time/money and have to resell it again.
Is there any way to tell? Maybe the noise it makes?
Thanks!

Look to see if there is a spacer mounted between the upper and lower plenum. If you dont know what those are...search.

Im bored and Im in a pretty good mood so i'll make someone's life easier.
This shiny piece in the middle (between the 'upper' and 'lower' plenum) is called the plenum spacer.

In case the first picture confused you... and since you don't know how to search.

Check out
Motordyne - they make a great product (I love mine) and have an incredibly good set of instructions to install it yourself.

Yup,and a note, not all spacers are shiny, the Motordyne spacer is matched to the casting style of the stick plenum very stealthy
