anyone fitted one of these? I see claims of improved running and improved mpg, but it seems dubious. I would be interested to know if anyone fitted one to a otherwsie stock engine and had any positive results..
thanks!
thanks!

save your Money. the spacer is trying to cylone the air into the intake for "better fuel economy and more power" doesn't effect it enough to even notice. if you want those results the option is enlarging the diameter of the throttle body by boring it out. the result is a wider open to accept more air.
you want bigger air not longer air.

I noticed a difference when I installed one on mine. It wasn't in the lowed stuff, but on the freeway while traveling 70 to 80mph. I was able to maintain those speeds easier (not having to kick down into a lower gear as much).
