[s-cars] Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers

[Emre Washburn]

//Skeptics,

I don't think any hard facts have been posted about the 2.2l spacers,
but the B5 S4 forum members on Audiworld.com rave about these spacers,
and they are
beginning to get gobs of power out of their motors these days.
Admittedly, they would probably benefit more then we would with their
IM being right above the center of two cylinder banks. But $100 and
having a cooler IM, I think there is a benefit.

Also, lengthening the IM tract a bit will also help with low-end grunt a bit.
