I hear that they're not worth the money, but that's just what I hear, not my experience.

You can just send me the money you'd pay for your spacer. It'll do the same thing either way.

Spacers rank up there with the tornado intake turbo things.... in other words they are a joke! Save your money people.

yes, TB spacers are worthless, you will not see any gains with them.

Best starter mods would be : programmer, CAI or Gotts mod, or gears

i was thinking of getting a programmer too, are they worth the money? do they make a big diff. more for mpg is what i was going to get it for, long trips coming up and my drive to work. i got a 4.6 so its not to bad but 30 mi to and from work even just four days a week is not that cool.
