Yes they do, albeit to different extents depending on what spec you engine is. What actually is it you would like to know about them?

the restriction is in the elbow...behind the throttle.....for 500bhp you need the inlet from a eecv escort cossie or the rs500inlet...(or the swedish type)

correct if im wrong..

Hello,

i want up my car to 500hp and am currently using a 2 wheel drive inlet manifold
Unfortunately the 2wd manifold will only flow around 430bhp (a 4x4 will do around 450bhp), I very much doubt any type of spacer will allow it to flow enough air to make another 70bhp, especially as one of the biggest restrictions (throttle body elbow) is before the actual plenum area itself. An EECIV inlet would probably be a better idea (and possibly work out cheaper if used on its own) as it will flow 500bhp in standard form.

Plenum spacers are really for getting the very last little bits of power/torque, not as a substitute for a good plenum design.

If I were you I would go with an EECIV inlet with a 14mm spacer.

If you are interested in them the prices are:

10mm Thick = Ł80 including p&p
14mm Thick = Ł94 including p&p

Lead time is around 5 days from the time of payment (7 days for cheque to clear, or straight away from credit/debit card over the phone).

Further information and photos can be seen at:

Thanks,

Matt.
