I bought one for my mate and he said that he felt a better response with the spacer fitted. Also the company(gns engineering) claims that you will gain more power! And they realy fit nicely!

im thinking of getting one,the one that follows the gasket line so it doesnt impede flow,best to get it mapped after fitting to make the most of the extra airflow

Lee cattermole TIB and MAD Rod tarry use them on here. I have seen them and really interested in them, especially if good gains are to be made.

What are the pros and cons on these, I would have thought it will help with flow as the plenum cover is so close to the trumpets?
