Never heard of them.

The V2 block off plate is a Vias delete. It blocks the secondary intake on the manifold which messes with the balance of back pressure. It will give you small gains higher up in the power band but hurt you on the low end. Not worth it. My friend had one in his sedan and quickly removed it. They are also overcharging for it, you can find them for about $35.00

Not familiar with the other part. It looks like it simply makes the air entering the manifold cooler by creating space between metal. Not sure Id trust that either.

I'm interested in the Manifold spacer. I don't think that part can do much harm. Any thoughts?

After thinking about their statements, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense. The total heat in the system is going to remain the same.

If you isolate the throttle body from the intake manifold, and the manifold from the engine, the air will remain cooler as it passes through these parts. But the engine block will not be able to dissipate heat as well and the block will run hotter.

I guess the only difference is now the air will have less surface area to get heated as it makes its way into the cylinders. But all that heat is now in the engine block; not only will it heat up the intake air, but it will heat up the engine bay too. It's still going to dissipate the same amount of heat.

Unless we're bringing more air through the engine bay, or introducing new cooling methods like heat sinks, we're not going to do much good.

No, its not a false statement made by the company. It's just not a complete one.
