Definitely not worth it. For me, it was a complete waste of time and money

Found it on the inter web. Take it with a grain of salt.
spacers mainly benefit older engines. In particular, those with fuel injection systems that have the fuel go directly into the throttle body, where it then mixes with air before going into the combustion chamber. It also can help with carburetor systems. However, if the vehicle has a multi-port fuel injection system or other top of the line system, then that small change in the air vortex will not make any difference to the performance, torque or horsepower. Therefore, before you go out and purchase a spacer, make sure your engine can actually benefit from having this upgrade.

Now that shits funny!
That's called "Throttle Body Injection" aka "TBI" and hasn't been used in a new car for decades.
Throttle spacer will have no positive effect on a reasonably modern vehicle.
