Really, I don't think there's much to be had from these spacers. IMO. I'd look for other parts that might serve more purpose to you ride.

do some searching. the throttle body spacers haven't proven to provide actual gains even thought the companies that make them claim about 10 hp gain.

seriously...
It's simply a very, very expensive paperweight. I'll sell you a NOS decal for a fraction of the price, and you'll get the same gains.

I had one on my Jeep too.
Was supposed to give me back some low end grunt, so they said. But it did look cool.

Well, yeah, that's the only reason these would come in handy, tapping for nitrous or water/meth injection...

Wouldnt that **** up the fit of your intake? I have the stock intake that has the flexible part but a stock CAI would be moved a bit right? I guess since its just an open filter it wouldnt matter though.
