Default upper/lower intake spacer?

I saw a upper/lower intake 1" spacer for $30 on ebay is this worth it? how much hp/torque does it add. is it emissoins legal,does it hurt my car or will in not make it pass smog,and MOST IMPORTANT will my stock hood still work? also with a throttle bodie 1"spacer plate, are they just as good?how much HP/tQ will i gain from this combo? heres what it looks like spacer plate
