Thumbs down

I haven't tried it, but I heard it was basically no good on F150s. I have read articles before on spacers and it said everything depends on what you want. Different materials and sizes of spacers can move power into different bands.
I'm just going to save money not buying one and put it into something else.

Those things are a joke! Someone please explain to me how they can do anything but disrupt the air flow. Which slows the flow down and causes LESS cylinder fill. Companies that make crap like that are just modern day medicine men selling snake oil and gadgets to cure all your woes. They prey on innocent people that don't know any better. They lure you in with promises of cheap increased power and efficiency. They make a product that they can make money on, but is not expensive enough that the people go to the trouble of removing and returning it when they realize it doesn't do what they claim. We need some form of regulation to make companies pay for independent testing to provide proof of what their products actually do on that specific application. Of course, that will NEVER happen. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Unfortunately, there will always be enough gullible people out there for these companies to make a killing on. And so it continues.

Hey they're not that bad. Some people may really want to install a really expensive whistle on their truck. Besides, you could pop the hood and nobody could ever find it. Think of what fun it would be to have a hidden whistle on your truck!!

I've also heard of many that think the spacers are the perfect size to center, provide more than adequate holding power and look really good on most any size loose paper on their desks! Good for up to a 1 inch stack of 8.5x11 heavy printer paper in up to a 5 MPH breeze.
