    The only value of this is if you like blood loss. They are great at ripping anyone working on the car to shreds.

    Look at this thing and ask yourself. If you are sitting at stoplights in city traffic and temps under your hood have gotten to the same temp as the engine, how much good is this going to do? Will it help that little area of exhaust pipe that it covers, eh.. it's going to be very immaterial.

    TB spacer is probably your next question. Only thing a TB spacer is good for is to cause a leak. Internal or external, they don't add value beyond causing a leak.

    If you want a leak or to bleed, these are your parts.
