Because the motor needs to breath! All it does is replace the tube that goes to the original intake filter.

Yes.... There are other ways of connecting the tube back to 14x3 , but it's not worth the hassle.

What do these spacers look like? I used to have one of those airaid ones under the throttle body but it was metal. Is that what they are or is it something different?
