2.5L / 3.0L Garolite Intake Spacer - $50 shipped

This 1/4 inch thick intake spacer works with the above vehicles. The spacer is installed between the lower and upper intake manifold, where the intake gasket is located.

This spacer is 1/4 inch thick to provide as much insulation as possible, while still retaining stock intake supports and bolts. Installation of this spacer is the same process as changing the spark plugs. A good write-up of a spark plug installation can be seen here.

I recommend buying an extra stock gasket (shown as #12 to the left) from your local dealer, and sandwiching the spacer between two stock gaskets. The Chrysler p/n for the 2.5L and the SOHC 3.0L is MD199282, for around $8. The Chrysler p/n for the DOHC Non-Turbo 3.0L is MD143791, and around $10. Although these use different part number gaskets, the newer MD199282 can be used in place of the MD143791. The MD199282 just has two extra holes. That is why this spacer is made to the MD199282, so that one spacer will work for all three engines. These gaskets can also be picked up at any Mitsubishi dealer. I would not recommend RTV or equivalent sealants since the walls around the openings are so small. This is a very large spacer (around 14" x 2.5" x 1/4" thick), with the wall thickness only being around 1/4".

Cheetah Phenolic spacers are cut from a single piece of Garolite by CNC water-jetting. Garolite is a great heat insulator, and these insulating properties will keep the plenum and throttle body cooler; as it will not absorb as much heat via conduction from the engine. This results in a cooler air-intake temperature, which creates a denser charge that provides more horsepower. A great article on the effects of cooling via spacers can be read here.

The cooler plenum and throttle body will also help keep the power level stay more consistent. Most cars feel slightly sluggish on very hot days, or after a time of stop-and-go driving. This is in part because of the intake air temperature rising. These spacers will help stop this power loss. IN certain applications, these spacers also add volume to your plenum, or smooth out the path to the cylinders, which will help increase torque throughout the powerband.

Spacers are great bang-for-the-buck, proven performance item, especially on an already modified vehicle; while not having any negative side effects like lower gas mileage. Many spacers sold are a fiber phenolic. But all of Cheetah spacers are made from Garolite, which has equivalent insulation properties to normal Phenolic, but is more moisture resistant. This is preferred, since an engine bay can have many different climates, with varying humidity's. Many vehicles also run EGR and PCV vapors back through the intake, and Garolite stands up to this harsh environment; as it is also more chemically resistant. In addition, with a wet nitrous kit, extra injectors, or a water injection kit, there may be considerable amount of fluid in the intake.
