It would be a waste of time, its a waste of time on a stock motor. It will actually make you slower from the added weight and the fact that it does NOTHING for performance. Just sayin.

On a stock motor, some spacers make a neat whistling sound. Whipples can do this from the factory.
So you don't even gain that.
