NO! Do not waste your money on such a thing for a fuel injected vehicle. I dont care what anyone on this forum says, its hogwash.
The whole point of a throttle body spacer was for better atomization of fuel/air from the carburetor to the lower intake. A fuel injected car needs no such thing.

Aftermarket companies have been incredibly successful in brainwashing the public on various things. People seem to think a throttle body spacer adds power because it adds a neat little sound upon acceleration.
When you really think how a fuel injected motor works, you can easily see how such a thing is nothing more than a paperweight.

I agree. Adding an extra half an inch that the air has to travel to get into the engine is not going to do anything beneficial for you.

works for some, not for most
try it on your truck, its 50 bucks, or almost a tank of gas
take it on a few highway drives and note any mileage increase or decreases
if it works, leave it on, if not, sell it
