Default aFe Throttle Body Spacer

Anyone installed the aFe Throttle Body Spacer on their 2012 EB truck yet? If so did you notice any MPG gains and were any modifications needed?

You'd be better off taking that money and wiping your butt with it after eating a big plate on enchiladas.

I've got one and I didn't notice anything at all, didn't even help with noise or anything like my previous v8's. if I was you I wouldn't bother, sorry I would like to say it helped.

You can buy it if you like but you will realize soon that it was worthless. This is all that will happen.

X2, it would be nice if 100 bucks could give you 10 RWHP but that is exactly what they are selling - the hope that that will happen.

it wont

The idiot would be the person who wasted their money on this device. For a carb'd engine, maybe it's worth it. For a direct injected turbo charged engine or any engine that doesn't have the fuel injected right at the throttle body, useless.

Come on, I know it didn't do anything but I really don't think I'm an idiot. I liked the sound it gave me in my v8's, so I thought just maybe, but I was wrong.

Guys, while I appreciate almost all of the replies I'm really looking for people like cbvet who actually installed one and what they then thought of it.

Thanks
