k&n and TB spacer?

just wondering if anyone out there has had success with adding a throttle body spacer to a k&n intake system for 05 or compatible. if so, any recommendations on brand and install? appreciate the input

The spacer does nothing for a port fuel injected engine.

The intake will add very little performance and with a 5.4L you are risking throwing CELs unless you get a custom tune.

Save your money and do this instead:

they do make a kick *** wistle sound tho, kinda pricey for some extra noise, "just clothes pin a base ball card to your radiator like when we were kids, i think thats good for like 5hp, no dyno results to prove it tho".
