LMAO, Funny Ebay Auction Options

I just thought I'd do a 5S-FE search on Ebay and look what I came up with!!!

"This gasket was engineered to reduce the heat transfer between the Head and the intake manifold. The result is much cooler/denser intake charge, higher horsepower and greater reliability. You can expect as much as a 5% increase in horsepower with the use of this gasket."

Knowing what I do I can safely say there is absolutely NO WAY that will EVER hold up to the claim. Compressed thickness on that gasket is probably about .040" and that will have NO effect on air at all.

There's a sucker born every minute, don't be one of them.

They are also a popular modification amongst the 3000GT VR-4 enthusiasts. With so much heat being created under the hood, the spacer has been proven to prevent heat transfer from the head to the intake manifold and reduce intake charges by something like 90 degrees according to the manufacturer that makes them for the Stealth/VR-4.

I guess it would be worth it if you were turbocharging and heat soak was a real problem. After all, whats the point in spending lots of money on a FMIC setup when your intake manifold could just negate the benefits produced?
