Actually in some cases you will gain. Also extends plenum length, and as I said if your running several vacuum lines instead of t-offs and possible loss of vacuum pressure to a part you can incorporate NPT around it to alleviate the mess

A little google and found this on the mustang forums:

and this from there, so we can know if we need something like that:

How can I tell if my filter assembly, meter, throttle body inlet hoses or manifolds are restrictive and losing HP? Use the time-proven Kenne Bell approach. Flow the individual pieces on a flow bench. See "Inlet System Testing." If you don't have access to a bench, install a tap behind each component in the inlet track, make a dyno pull or a WOT run on the street in low or second gear and read the vacuum gauge. If it's "0" there are no losses and, therefore, upgrading components will not help. However, if there is a 4" Hg reading - that's 2 psi of lost atmospheric boost and 20HP (1 psi=10HP). Works on carbureted engines also. Now you know how to analyze inlet systems. You'd be amazed at how many don't.

I just came back from Nimo's (nmuk152) shop, he added the spacers in my tC -- it's stock + TRD exhaust. I do feel a gain. My friend, who owns a tC + I\H\E was there and test drove it before and after as well and also stated he felt a minor gain.
Going to go do a dyno test this Saturday. Gotta remove the spacer out to do baseline then put it back in to see how much gain there is. Hopefully there will be a good amount,
I'll let Nimo take over since it's his product.
