Besides price, what's the major difference between the MDX spacer vs say one from OE. I get that OE's has a heat block effect from block to IM but other than that I feel like it'd just be easier to buy OE's kit with the IM and TB spacer than to have to hunt stuff down like you are raj...
Does the size of the spacer really affect gain that much?

we dont have a factor spacer.
when u put a spacer from a vendor what it is is a thermo gasket (keeps heat transfer down) and or a throttle body spacer. this is a factory mdx spacer and will raise the height of the intake manifold. the mdx, oddysee, pilot have this bc they need more torque. its been proven (3rd gen side) that it will give 7 wtq and i think about 2whp. search the 3rd gen tl side for more info.
ill get before and after dynos for the non believers.

I assume if OE made theirs thicker, we could see the same gains plus benefit of cooler air in the IM?

not milling it down. i have a plan for it. hence it still laying on my desk.
heres a thread that made me do it

here are a 3rd gen tl members gains
how it looks, makes a big difference

I know we don't have a factory spacer. I just can't get my head around the idea that raising the IM a few mm will give you that much gain. I guess I will shut my mouth when I see your results.

just put the spacer on, had to do some cutting to the hood and spacers at the hinges. making a diy as i type. i feel and head the power. before (with bent valves) my car never broke traction in 1st. no at any mph in 1st gear, it will break the tires loose. tried it on diff pavements and speeds. also feel way better pick up in the higher rpms.
intake spacer mod FTMFW. way better than adding an intake but not quite as good as headers. anyway. for $70 not bad at all.

Nice!! I'm really thinking about this.. just don't wanna have to put the spacers for the hood hinges... Maybe I'll take it somewhere and get it milled down a bit... and put the 09 IM
