i had one on my 2003 GMC Envoy 4wd with a K&N 77 Series Intake and a flowmaster, i noticed a gas mileage increase, not really power...just quicker accelaration since it was also drive by wire like the tC....maybe on an automatic it would be worth it, but manual i dont think it will add power, unless you bore out your throttle body, i think it just adds more air to the throttle body when the butterfly valve is closed and when u use WOT it gives you better response since there is actually more space for air to fit in there.....im no expert but it makes sense to me

I found this: http://www.airaid.com/510-608_scion.asp

Now, does anyone on here actually have a spacer and can show a graph displaying the increase? If anyone knows of someone, please have them search this thread or PM me....thanks.
