Read the performance FAQ please, before you post up something else of this nature.



Don't buy from MANTAPART!!
There is no easy ways to get HP, no magic box or gizmo... And if you get more hp, there's no way to make your car still behave and sound like a stock one. More hp usually makes your car louder, more vibrations and harder to drive...but still people hope or think maby there's some magic way to have it all, comfort, stock sound and drive.

the airraid spacer whistles alot....not sure if there are any actual gains, maybe in gas mileage.

I have seen dyno proof of hp gains from TB spacers on Honda forums but i have yet to ever see anyone with a J-Body dyno test these. I also doubt anyone in this thread who says they won't help has any proof to back themselves.

I'm assuming the added plenum volume to the intake manifold is where the gains are from. K-Series Honda motors typically see a 2-4whp gain over the entire rpm range, considering the price it seems to be worth every penny compared to the gains yeilded from a intake or cat-back exhaust.

The problem is, most people wont spend that kind of money on a dyno run just to check a $100 spacer.
I too want to know if it makes any gains.

I heard someone say on the Ecotec, in makes it impossible to close the hood because it raises the TB too high.
Anyone else hear this?
Rumor or?


My wife's 2003 Ecotec 2.2 liter Sunfire:
* 2 1/4 inch turbo muffler
* 2 1/4 piping to a 2 1/2 inch resonator
* 2 1/4 inch catalytic converter
* 2 1/2 inch down-pipe
* a match ported 4:2:1 RK Sports 'clone' header
* an AEM true cold air intake NOPI edition
* 8 gauge ground wire kit
* Toyz front strut brace
* Vibrant rear strut brace
* and Russell stainless steel brake lines all around.

A TB spacer works really good for making your hood not clear your intake.....
