Throttle Body Spacer
I wanted to pick one up because it adds a little torque for cheap. Anyways, the steeda is like $90ish. Now it has like fin shapes on it to "break tension". This ebay one is just smooth, so does it give the same performance as the steeda for less, even though the intake on the ebay one is smooth?

DO NOT BUY A SPACER. THEY ADD NOTHING TO THE CAR.
Get a CAI/Tune first and forget ever getting a spacer

I dunno... I've seen spacers add between 75 and 175 hp.
Seriously!
Of course, they were used as a place to mount a fogger nozzle for a Zex kit, so some of that may have been from the Zex
