Just to elaborate,

The Airram sells WITH the spacer for now, due to strong demand for both.

I do NOT need an OEM manifold at this time. If that changes, I'll let you now.

Thanks

Just so everyone knows, the hondata spacer sucks balls.

Isn't that a bit expensive for a used Airram?

I have the hondata spacer it works just fine. All parts of my intake are cool/warm to the touch.

It's going to be about $20-30 to ship it, then about another $15 for 3% paypal fees ... so after all that why not just pay the extra $15 and get it for $600 SHIPPED from kspec brand NEW? And those spacers only sell for like $40...

Price is way too high.

heh
I was just loading KSpec's website to check the exact same thing when I read that last post.
Yeah... $550+shipping for used can't beat $600 shipped for new.

^^^^ agree
Might as well as fork over $50 more dollars and get a brand new one.
Sorry screwdriver but that price is offly high. If taken down quite a bit then I would be interested.
Also, used how many miles on it?

Agreed. Price is now $525 all included. FIRM.

Redz, far as I know there are 2 phenolic spacers available. Hondata and Outlaw. I don't recall a comparison between the two with numbers. As far as I can tell, the Hondata works good enough. And it cost me nearly $60, NOT $40.

As far as the "used" arguement, this is an Intake Manifold. There is no significant wear and tear that it experiences. It's as shiny as when I got it and looks & performs exactly like a new one would. To make things better, I just ran a can of Seafoam through it. It shines like you won't believe.

I WILL SHIP INTERNATIONAL AT YOUR OWN RISK

There are 3 or 4 of them out there. I'll list them in order of quality.

Outlaw Engineering.

Ebay (I can't remember the guy that makes them, he's from EXD.com though.)

Hondata


I've had my hands on all 3.

The first 2 are made out of actual phenolic plastic. The Hondata.com isn't phenolic plastic at all (They sent me one for free and I didn't even bother to use it). SO, even calling it a phenolic spacer is wrong. It's a high temp plastic spacer.

No other plastics will block the transmission of heat as well as phenolic plastic. Hence why it's used on pot handles, ceramic pieces that need handles, and other high temp applications.

The hondata spacers (2 other companies make them also, same material) tend to smash when torqued on, and this can cause splitting of the material. It can then crack off and go into your intake.

Not good.

There's a reason everyone went with the Outlaw set, they are the best. Period.


Now, let me end my rant.

Well said.

I've looked and examined the Hondata after using it for 5000 miles. No such problems - not to debate your elaborate points.

It's done the job well and will continue to do the job well.

Redz, could you change the first post to reflect the new price? Thanks
