Manifold Spacer: is it worth it?

[Schwarz]

Good convo guys
Now I managed to score a plenum spacer nd intake spacer today yes fro the wreckers but in pretty good condition nd for only 10 bucks
Plenum is easy
But the intake how much sealant nd where does it go
Both are 12mm thick from my measurements

You need more than just the spacer.

Quite agree , a decent CAI would help too , and if $$ allows a throttle body upgrade and tune

I meant you need longer bolts, rail spacers, hoses and so on not just the manifold spacer.

You need the hardware that comes with it, you could probably email MACE and try and get the bolt pack and hose extensions.

Nevermind, just read your reply haha
Do a bead of sealant that’s about the width of your pinky nail around the intake runners and the top of the manifold spacer, mace will show you best

I was thinking about doing it but for my stock vx I don't think it's worth it just going to thoroughly clean my plenum and replace my injector filters and o rings.
