Torque Solution Thermal Intake Spacers 19mm Subaru EJ w/ Long Runner (Non-TGV) Intake Manifold Subaru WRX 2002-2014 / STI 2004-2021 | TS-SU-478-LR

Part #: TS - SU - 478 - LR. These Torque Solution phenolic thermal intake spacers are a great choice for Subaru EJ engines with long runner (NON - TGV) intake manifolds. Ideal for long runner IM swaps or custom reversed IM setups, they offer clearance for AVCS solenoids. Made from CNC'd composite glass epoxy resin, they're strong, chemically resistant, and can handle high heat. Key features include excellent thermal properties, which help reduce intake manifold temperature. They're 19mm thick and come with zinc install hardware. There's also a limited lifetime warranty. What's included: two 19mm composite glass epoxy spacers, eight M8 - 1.25 x 45 zinc socket cap bolts, and eight M8 zinc flat washers. Fits Subaru WRX (2002 - 2014), WRX STI (2004 - 2021), Legacy GT (2005 - 2012), and Forester XT (2004 - 2013). It's recommended to use with new OEM gasket part # 14035AA421 (4 needed for install). Measure hood clearance before ordering due to the 19mm increased IM height. Proposition 65 requires warnings for Californians about chemicals. Warning: (http://www.p65warnings.ca.gov)

Using these Torque Solution intake spacers is straightforward. First, gather all the included parts: two 19mm composite glass epoxy spacers, eight M8 - 1.25 x 45 zinc socket cap bolts, and eight M8 zinc flat washers. You'll also need to get four new OEM gaskets with part # 14035AA421. Before starting the installation, measure the hood clearance because the spacers increase the intake manifold height by 19mm. During installation, make sure to align the spacers properly with the intake manifold. Tighten the bolts securely using the included zinc install hardware. As for maintenance, these spacers are made of high - quality materials and should last a long time. However, it's a good idea to periodically check the bolts for tightness. If you live in an area with a lot of chemicals in the air, clean the spacers occasionally to keep them in good condition. Remember, there's a limited lifetime warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to the manufacturer. And be aware of Proposition 65 warnings if you're in California.
