    what kinda benefits? idk push button power lol okay but in all seriousness the only good thing about the spacers is the kinda cool whistle noise. They are worthless otherwise doesn't matter what brand save your money get a tune or something else. By far a custom tune will be the best bang for the buck. Its only 300 for a Nelson tune. You will get increases across the board. The spacers are a waste. Some one please close this thread.

    If it's free use it. Iv ran em a few times and did see a small increase in mpg. No gain in performance or power.

    TB spavers do work...on carbs. Anything where the fuel is combined with the air before the spacer they will help a very minuscule amount by allowing a little more time for the fuel and air to atomize better. That being said on a motor where fuel is combined with air well after the spacer they just look pretty and make noise.
