LMAO, Funny Ebay Auction Options

[Fastbird]

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

"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.

if something like that worked... toyota would do it at the factory, just to be able to claim more power on the sale sticker and sell more cars.

its a lot of trouble to even install it.... probably would have to pull the motor out cause there is little room in the bay to work in


edit:

" The spaceage material used in the gasket can easily handle the extreme heat output of a high performance engine. The gasket also seals on imperfect surfaces, and can be used over and over again. NASA uses this same material in multi-million dollar machinery. . "

anytime they say "spaceage" you KNOW its a scam! and saying nasa uses it? what? metal ? lol
