geez..ebay does actuall sells junk, people on ebay sells junk.

people also sells real product like tein, spoon, mugen, i don't think you can call them junk.

not sure about the whole gay meow thing so i am just going to cut to the chase.

TB coolant bypass is to route the incoming coolant away from the the TB, the ideal effect of this mod is to keep the hot coolant from heating up the throttle body. it's more effective on some car than other, but like most honda, most of the heat from the intake mani. Somepeople argue the slight difference will not show any performance gain as the hot manifold will heat up the incoming air as it passes thru the intake mani.

don't try to do this mod if you see snow, or the throttle plate could stick

Meow, thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard. Worst mod ever. I would assume you'd see probably 90-300HP out of it.
