Only if you have a carburetor or throttle body injection. On modern fuel injected motors they are nothing but a paper weight.

I bought one thinking it would do something, but quickly found out it does jack crap. But it did help my air cleaner clear my coolant hose. Heres an old pic of what I had set up initially. It has a bigger performance element now.

I'm glad I got opinions so I can spend my money on something else. I have a k&n kit so I figured it would do more with the spacer but thanks guys
