anyone have spacers for the surge tanks?

Not trying to bash, but just curious if they really work? When I searched the forum, it seems those that got them agreed that it did not really do much, if anything, to reduce the heat to the surge tanks once the car got warmed up / driving around due to the convection heat from the headers and engine bay.
But, is there another benefit to the surge tank spacers - like somehow increase air volume since there is now 1 inch or more volume due to the spacers?

In my old m3 you could put your face on the intake and not get burned.
