P2R Throttle Body Spacer Help

Hey Guys,
I was wondering, excelerateperformance didn't provide me with the thermal gaskets on my p2r spacer and i was wondering if I should remove the old gaskets and put just the spacer on or if i should leave the old gaskets on. The other option is to spend $50 to buy the thermal gaskets.
What do you think?
THANKS

Email them back and request the gaskets. I would be under the impression that they were included as well.

I just looked and the package is $110 that comes with the gaskets. Wish I would have seen it before I bought just the spacer. Shipping for just the gaskets through excelerate is $20!!!!!

The spacer, which is roughly $70, does not come with the gaskets. The package we sell, which is $110, does come with the gaskets:

I'd highly recommend the thermal gaskets. They reduce the intake air temps and heat transference which occurs with the paper gaskets from the factory.

Theoretically, it helps by increasing the volume of the head and absorbing the heat from the air which goes from your intake tube to the head. im not gonna give praise or put down a product that i've never tried before.
