Default plenum spacers

Does anyone feel the difference after installing one? In other words, is it worth the price?

Can anybody really feel a 5-10 hp gain out of 300 hp? That's only a 2-3% difference.

You're never going to feel such a small gain but it would certainly be measurable on a dyno or in a 1/4 mile ET. For that reason, yes, it's worth the price.

I recently had a Crawford upper plenum installed along with a JWT Popcharger and GReddy Evo2 catback. I had it all installed at the same time but i didn't reset the ECU, i just drove the **** out of it for the next 300 or so miles. So 2 weeks later... i honestly don't feel that much of a difference on the butt-dyno but i did notice that it pulls thru the upper RPM's (5k+ rpm) alot faster.

Cliffs notes: not much on the butt-dyno but pulls smoother thru the upper powerband. Not sure if that makes sense but thats my take on it.
