Default throttle body spacer?

Does anyone have a throttle body spacer on their car or know if they work or not?

I do remember seeing some posts about intake manifold spacers. Might search that topic.

I have a Street & Performance Electronics Helix Power Tower throttle body spacer in my 95 Accord LX. It added a nice whistle sound, and I think the throttle is a little more responsive in the lower RPM range. It's supposed to add around 5 hp, but not sure if that is true or not, since I haven't had my car dynoed. For what it's worth to you, I was satisfied with it. Very easy to install too. Their website is http://www.streetandperformanceelectronics.com

I think the best thing to do, is just to whistle yourself. The harder you accel, the harder you have to blow. Added 15hp for me.

welcome to the age of information.

just download a vid of some skyline racing at the track, record down the noise and convert it into sound track. burn it in a disc and you can have bov popping all day at you finger tip

bonus track
-spooling
-vtec cross over
-pinging
-6 pak clutch engaging
