Default Intake manifold spacers...

I searched and got nothing... Just a bunch of wheel spacer things... Bum deal there. But have any of you had experience with this? Is it worth the $30 or so bucks to get one? Not in itself, but say, at the same time as manifold/head work? I'm never sure about things like this, especially when it's advertised to lower intake air temp by some unfathomable amount, hahaha! Thanks in advance!

I've seen some other ones. Hondata's is like $60 I think, and I found ProFab Designs for about half that. So it's worth it huh? Not as a something by itself, but do it when I do the rest kind of thing? Thanks again

i don't think i paid over $40 shipped for mine (hondata). I do think it's worth it though. I never drove my car without it, so I can't really compare power gains, but to the touch my IM stays cooler than my buddy's IM (97 h22 lude). I haven't ever heard anything bad about them.

There's no reason not to get one. It keeps the IM cooler.....

It's just not the easiest install in the world.

no bad side to it, main advantages are u never have to replace a gasket again, and u will never have to scrape off a stuck on oem paper gasket, performance wise, is marginal at best.

all in all, if your pull off ur IM anyways, swap it, if not, dont bother pulling ur IM JUST to swap the gasket, u will be disapointed
