i would use the k&n and skip the spacer, my parents put a spacer in their h2 and it was the biggest waste of money, it didnt save mpg, and it didnt add any hp

Go with the H3 Hummer K&N 77 Series High-Flow Performance Kit and upgrade your exhaust. I did all three with my 2006 H3 and like others here I am using the TBS as a paper weight.

Right, the spacer is a gimmick and waste of $$. I have the K&N and my own designed runner tube sans the resonance box.

Dont do spacer.

If you do CAI kit with tube, you really need to add a calibrated MAF (Granatelli) to reap the full benefits of the new air intake! Just ask Volant why their kit with tube comes with a calibrated MAF and they will explain why is is needed to gain most performance!

I haveaGranatelli MAFs new in box at home if you decide to go this route. Will offerit at a really good price as I ended up with a Volant CAIkit that I didnt know came included with one. Was wondering why the kit was $650, so now I know...

Is it designed specifically for the I5 3.7? How much?

Granatelli shows part # apps only for the H2. A PCM tune can do the same thing.
