Up to 22 hp gains*
Up to 4 miles per gallon gains*
Up to 25 ft lb gain in Torque*
Easy installation
Quiet Operation
Performance benefits across entire power band*
Environmentally friendly with cleaner fuel burn
Fifty States Legal (C.A.R.B # D516-2)
*Performance level may vary among applications and driving style
no way IMO won't even be close to numbers they are quoting.

Its just like how K&N claims up to 26rwhp. It all depends on the vehicle. I was thinkin maybe like 3-5hp and maybe a few ft/lb of torque.
for $90 its a good deal even if its only those gains.
p.s. the K&N adds just over 30 for the 03 cobra lol.

I am thinking any increase in HP from the above mentioned spacer might come on a bone stock V6 with no CAI or custom tune but no where near the quoted numbers..
From just a spacer, amazing how these people fudge the numbers.

This spacer is nothing new, because of the vortex swirling air a little bit per 1"I could see a slight improvement on a bone stock V6.

I like the old turbonator things that were braking and sending blades into the throttle body and destroying engines lol.
And i want someone else to do it first lol. I just spent my $100 on something else lol.

Well, in all honesty they don't actually say you will see "any" increase at all. What they do say is the gains will not exceed their "up to" posted specs. Which is gauranteed, when you think about it. And as far as "performance benefits" go that statement couldn't possibly be any more vague. Buyer beware..... Based on what Doug saw with the 4.6 TB spacer installed, I'd say keep your money in your pocket.

yeah so I just saw that after posting here. I'm an now no longer looking for a UDP unless they develop something beefier than a 20% crank. While we're at it, you got any info on the MRT turbo?
