I just thought I'd do a 5S-FE search on Ebay and look what I came up with!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW

"This gasket was engineered to reduce the heat transfer between the Head and the intake manifold. The result is much cooler/denser intake charge, higher horsepower and greater reliability. You can expect as much as a 5% increase in horsepower with the use of this gasket."

Knowing what I do I can safely say there is absolutely NO WAY that will EVER hold up to the claim. Compressed thickness on that gasket is probably about .040" and that will have NO effect on air at all.

There's a sucker born every minute, don't be one of them.

Actually, they do something. If you decided to heat up your intake manifold, it will reduce the amount of power it produces, because you are now getting hot air, which isn't dense as colder air. I don't think it will be worth the whole $50 or so they want for it though. Unless you really want that extra 1HP.
