Yep I dont think they do anything to benefit the engine. Do a search on the Gott's mod, that will allow you to get more from the truck, and its much cheaper.
Checked out the gotts mod but i dont have the plastic tube in my truck. I took it out when i did the full k&n intake an filter. all that is around my filter is the shield an hole in the inner
fender.

Oh gotcha I didn't catch that you had the full intake in the truck. I just have a drop-in filter so that is the first thing that comes to my mind when I read K&N haha. Only thing I can think of to help with intake performance then would be to clean the throttle body.

a throttle body spacer is kinda a gimmick. Just cosmetic really.
Spacers really only work well for carb'd applications where you allow more airspace for the fuel and 02 to blend together. Under a throttle body all they really do is make a whirring sound when you hit the go pedal.
