not really worth the $70 price tag... it's supposed to funnel the air coming into the mani... but really all it does is make the intake louder and more annoying

Some people say that it will stop any heat from the intake manifold/tb from soaking into the pipe for the intake (if you have a metal after market one)

Some people say that adding the extra length increases torque, as per the idea that longer runners on the intake manifold increase torque.

Some people say that TB spacers with "cyclone" ridges tunnel the air into the intake manifold, like the cyclone thing "as seen on tv".

TB spacers generally make a high rev whine noise, on most cars.

There have been some dyno tests that show an increase in TQ after installing one, and alot more showing no gain.

I'd save your money and buy some beer instead.
