Default Intake Systems.

I'm currently waiting for a few parts to come in the mail, a K&N intake being one of them. I was curious to see how many of you guys run a throttle body spacer along with your cold air intakes, and how much of a difference you guys see with or without the spacer while still using your CAI..

We hate them because they are a useless expensive gimmick. OP, do a search in this section on the topic of throttle body spacers and you will find alot of threads about them.

Lol, Good thing I'm asking about them rather bragging about having one. This site helps out a ton.

They make a good skipping stone over the water....kind of an expensive stone though.

They have also been used to keep a door open, to break apart ice, and to pretend it's a flux capacitor.

On a serious (?) note, some engines have found minimal gain with them; just not the 4.2, 4.7, or 5.4
