Damn! Sorry guys! I do have the Outlaw and thought it would be a difference. So please delete me from the list. I already pm Josh for a refund. Sorry for the inconvience.

Somewhere between $35-$40.

My post above referred to the Intake Manifold gasket not the Throttle body setup. There will be a noticeable difference between the P2R TB setup and the Outlaw throttle body setup. Outlaw uses a 5/8" phenolic style spacer while P2R uses 2 thermal gaskets that are more heat resistant and also a 3/4" aluminum spacer for more volume.

according to the tracking number they arrived in montreal on monday, I figured they would have been at more door yesterday but i'm still waiting. the tracking number is CV001292565US and you can check it on canadapost.ca. I'm hoping I get it sometime today but it's seeming less likely.

Man I wish I seen that video earlier. It was a pain to get those bolts out! Josh, the spacer is great! I notice the extra torque right away! Thanks again! Question though. I did put the spacer on upside down with the groove on the bottom. Does that matter? It seems to be working fine though.

Were you guys worried about losing the warranty (extended in you have it or 4yr/50k) either one?

Only took customs 7 days to confirm it was just chunks of metal!

wow I just noticed that on the tracking, might be another day or two if that's the case. apparently metal squares with circular holes is of high interest.

Man! I just made a crazy discovery! I mention that I put the spacer on upside down (groove side down) when I first put the spacer on. When I re-installed the spacer groove side up, the car responded poorly. Even the spacer was hot after driving. It was nothing like the first install. Today after work, I switched it back to groove side down again. It was amazing again! Also the spacer was just alittle warm after alot of spirited driving. I understand the stock gasket was groove side up before, but I think this is the better way to roll!

the package arrived today, and I've already dropped everyone's in the mail (Xpresspost). On the downside I got charged $76 in Duty on the package. It looks like excelerate missed the first letter of my postal code and customs opened the package to look for invoice with proper one. I think that's why it took so long the clear.

Canucks check you PM, I've sent you tracking details.

for those of you with the P2R, have you noticed any difference with MPG? Since I drive about 100 Miles a day, I need to squeeze every last MPG out I can so i don't go broke on gas money... Also excelerate, I PM'ed you about the spacers for the MDX and didn't get a response back.

I don't have my vibration mount installed and it fits fine because of that I'm assuming.
