Anyone ever seen these or used them before? Picked them up off eBay for $62 they look like the stack performance ones and come with gaskets and bolts so I thought it was a pretty good deal but wanted some thoughts and to know if any one has heard of any problems with these

I tried to google them and I know they had a mopar sponsor for drifting and such but couldn't really find anything else. No news is good news I guess...

Jose when you remove the stock manifold bolts watch for the rubber o-rings that will attach to the bolt you need to reuse those with the provided stack manifold bolts, fyi the passenger side rear manifold bolt is a PITA to get in and out and its nice to have a buddy help line everything up and help hold the manifold up while you slide in and line up the new gasket. After a few days of driving go back and retorque the bolts

Thanks Wade! I actually have a set of Thermalators I am suppose to install when I get a chance.

The o- rings on the underside of the manifold or the top?

According to the Bwoody website shown here:

The Thermalnators are made by Sikky Manufacturing. Enlarge the picture and you can see the Sikky sticker and the part number under it.

Search this site. I have read of some other posts that these things are 'usless'. I have used them on other cars I have owned before and agree... if you are looking for something which you can tell from the seat of your pants there was a performance gain, these would not do it.

I never used them as its just another thing to start leaking and dont need anything for chrysler to go against a warranty claim. As i ice and use a water sprayer to cool the intake between runs. If i was to use any i would use SARGES SPACERS.

That's understandable, I'm getting gaskets with it so I don't think it will leak I just have to remember to check and retorque the bolts. I would not run it w/out the gaskets that's for sure. Sarges do look like they will work great

NuFormz is gone and closed when Shaun Carlson passed away.......they never had phenolic spacers. Those are the cheap sht leaking ones made by GS Motorsports!!

Waste of time and money!!

Seriously!? Well sh*t! They leaked even with having the gaskets?

the last set I installed from GS were Black and a laminate type. Did they change them or deviate from their original design? "Which did leak btw" But these dont look like the ones I saw.

Scott yes the new ones are totally different and actually work pretty well, now as with all spacers if you let the jeep sit after romping on it for a while the heat from the heads will eventually soak through no matter which set of spacers you have on, what I have found with the stack spacers (was holding out for sarges..hint, hint,) is that they work well while driving and dont allow the heat to transfer as quickly and cut down the time I have to ice down the manifold at the track which is good as it keeps the heads warm where you want them.
