simply put - a plenum is not unlike an old performance intake manifold.

A spacer would be like a gasket of metal, but thicker/taller, and would be used with a stock plenum (intake manifold) to create the same effect as a performance intake manifold.

(posting cuz skeleton_cru asked someone too. He cares about everybody!! and it took less than 3 min to answer)

I'm sorry but wtf is up with you guys always saying to use the freakin "search" button! Ofcourse it IS useful, however, this is a freakin FORUM!!! Guys, we all post stuff so we can learn, discuss, etc. to improve our cars, as well as increase the knowledge of our cars. All I'm saying is that I'm sick of people posting: "use the search button". If you want to reply to a thread using that previous statement, then in my opinion, don't write. Just dont answer and the person will be forced to use the "search" button.

This has been discussed before. Use the search function.

Thank you.

Listen man, the only reason I'm always harping on the search thing is because topics like plenums, Z-tubes, ECU's, etc. have been discussed to death on this forum. A few minutes of research will answer your questions and educate you at the same time. In the end doing your own research and making your own decision about what you will put on your car will be more rewarding then the instant gratification you seek.

That's what I'm talking about. When I first joined this forum almost two years ago I tried to answer all the questions I could, the best I could. I've certainly strayed from being as helpful as I like to think I once was, and I've most certainly become more of a smart@ss. I'm definitely more into posting for the amusement of acquaintances and friends on this site, and for myself, than I ever was before. I've just begun an attempt to balance being helpful and "amusing" (or sarcastic and mean). On that note, I do receive PMs for help and information, and those I always answer as best I can. Sometimes I do a good job, sometimes I can only respond with opinion, and sometimes I just don't know enough about a particular product. We can all constantly learn, and I do apologize if I was too flip with my responses, G-Pimp.

It's also more likely that you will get a more in depth discussion on earlier threads.
After something has been rehashed 3 or 4 times the replies get less informative.

Also, a little research might lead you to a question that you had not considered....
