These spacers are to be installed at the intake manifold/cylinder head junction in an effort help reduce heat soak.

Lowering IATs is an oft-proven method of increasing performance.

My extra pair are available gratis to any member (in good standing) who will put them to good use on his engine. Includes requisite gaskets and extended length fasteners, of course.

You’re welcome to PM, email, or simply reply in this thread if interested.

Kindly pardon my naïveté, but I don’t know if your ’06 2.5L has a M112 or an M272.

The M272 utilizes an altogether different intake, so it’s a virtual certainty that the spacers won’t work.
