I guess by 'c' you're referring to me? Never had anyone ever use the phrase "yo c..." when asking me a question before.

The spacers I have on my car are a 1/4" thick. I did several Winter mods (STI panel filter, magnaflow muffler and phenolic spacers) and my trap speed in the 1/4 mile rose from 89.54mph to 91.00 mph after these upgrades were done (91.00 mph trap was done on a slipping trans so could have been even higher).

The slightly longer intake tract is supposed to improve low-end torque while keeping the manifold cool. I haven't taken it to a dyno, but the car does feel stronger at low rpms...

Biggest benefit though is a cooler manifold which will keep your 1/4 mile times consistent. I was able to run two back-to-back times of 15.291 @ 91mph after installing the spacers.

For a $100 you can't go wrong with this upgrade!
