Using these Torque Solution intake spacers is straightforward. First, make sure to measure the hood clearance as the spacers add 19mm to the intake manifold height. You'll need to use new OEM gasket part # 14035AA421, and you'll require four of them for a complete install. When installing, use the included zinc install hardware. The M8 - 1.25 x 120 zinc socket cap bolts can be used with both OEM and TS TGV deletes, while the M8 - 1.25 x 45 ones are for TS TGV deletes only. As for maintenance, these spacers are made of high - quality composite glass epoxy resin that's chemically resistant and heat - resistant, so they don't need a lot of special care. Just keep an eye on them during regular engine check - ups. Also, be aware of Proposition 65 warnings if you're in California.
