On kenneys truck the last inch of the stock manifold was undivided wtf??so is it a big deal if not eveything divided??

There are no pros or cons...it depends on what style turbine housing you're working with.

If the exhaust manifold and the turbine housing are both divided, it only makes sense to get a divided spacer to match. It may not make THAT much of a difference, but it seems as if it would flow much nicer.

The undivided T3 spacer available from source auto does not match the T3 gaskets very well. The "mouth" of the spacer is roughly 1/4" wider than the gasket. However, the gasket matches the foot of the T3 manifold and turbine housing perfectly.

Was the turbine housing divided? Its not like the truck is going to explode if you use an undivided component with a divided counterpart, but keeping everything even and matched makes for a smoother, better flow. Using a divided housing on an undivided manifold (or spacer) could potentially lead to some erosion of the divider.
