people who have seen and used them. and they all agree....

the idea behind it works, however they are places before the throttle body. the throttle body disrupts air flow paterns tremendously. if they were placed after, it might be a difference story

let me ask you something:
...do you think that if installing a throtle body spacer could help improve power?
Does that make any sence to you?
Thanks...

the subjects of gimmics like this air intake b.s. thing and throttle body spacers have been beaten to death here on H-T.

You will not see/notice any gains from either of these products on our Hondas.

the only way it would increase mpg is the amount of air would be less in the chamber so the ecu would not dump as much fuel in there. but that would result in a power loss. just a thought.

HA HA i just noticed this (taken from the site):

"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."

How is he runnin a 15.8 1/4 with 44whp? wtf?

Consumer Reports had an article on these devices a month or two back I think it was. Anyway, the results of dyno testing showed they do nothing. Most even decreased horsepower and/or fuel economy. Dont know if your device was tested, but it may give you an idea of the reality of these things.
