Search int his forum and form your own opinion. From what I have seen, it is a crappy product with Honda guys trying to cash in on our cars with poor R & D. Thumbsdown from me and thumbs up for the suggestion of Motordyne Engineering's spacer

Re the Skunk2 spacer, there have been a few people on the FX forums who have installed it... IMO the build quality is not that great, look at this pic, you can see how the spacer almost looks too BIG and does not look like an exact fit, there is a lot of overhang between the spacer and the lower intake manifold.



+1 for the Motordyne spacer.

Shady If you notice it is the exact same shape and fitment as the upper plenum. (just pointing out that the upper also overhangs the lower)

I will not bash this product because I have not used it or know anyone that has used it.

I have used the AAM and I loved it, Also know that the motordyne is an excellent product.

Good point, here's another shot of a different guy's Skunk2 spacer (also on the FX) where you can see the spacer sticks out from the upper plenum as well. It could be just the way it was installed has some tolerance in front/back/side mounting.
