Question Intake Spacers??

Haha now i know this may cause a huge uproar and arguement, but hey that's not all bad. So the question is with a BBK twin 62mm throttle body, should you buy a spacer or no? The car also has a K&N CAI and no tune. So far ive heard mostly negative replies about the spacer...does anyone have any knowledge about this setup?

TB spacers are useless hunks of metal. If you've already bought one, set it aside until xmas so you can hang it from your tree; a testimony to gullibility.

The BBK TB may not provide any noticeable improvement over the stock TB as the stock flows quite well. If you intend to do some significant internal mods or go FI later, then it should serve you well. Beware that quite a few that have replaced their TB's have had issues.

the only negative with spacers is they're expensive, and do nothing positive. If they were $5 it would be different, but they have no practical use. The colored ones look pretty though,,,,,
