The Dodge dealership charged me like $150 ish. I'm not exactly sure what price but it was around there. It might have been 130.

If you read the actual description on Moderperformance, you will see that you only need the 20-30 dollar adaptor if you have an early on '00 neon. The 01-present hook straight up. Check out the description for more details.

That's insane!


Guys, is it easy to install the throttlebody? Does it come with directions to help you?

No it doesn't come with directions. I had a mechanic install my throttle body it doesn't seem that hard. I just don't like to experiment with stuff like that.

theres no directions but its kind of self explanatory, look at your stock throttle body, then look at the new one, you will see how easy it is to match up where the parts need to hook on the new one, one mistake i made was putting the hose connector pointing away from the car, so it wouldnt reach the hose. so i had to reverse it. just have the proper tools and it takes less than 30 mins to install. if anyone wants detailed directions i could provide it to ya.

Sweet thanks,

So Deo was the sound difference nice? Like the jump from no CAI to CAI? Or Better? About install, it looks strait forward. The only part I wasn't sure about are those wires that go around the black thing. What's up with that? Are those wound around it or something? I didn't look at it closely....

yea it makes a difference, the cai sounds deep by itself, with throttle body it makes it sound deeper, it makes a big diff on an aftermarket exhaust too, i got the vibrant dual exhaust, i put that on first then i put on the throttle body, sounds nice and deep especially after i shift to second it sounds mean.
those wires that wrap around is the throttle, it connects to your gas pedal so when u hit the gas it opens the throttle letting in air, its easy to take off the stock and even easier to install into the new one.

That's awesome man! I just got the stock R/T exhuast. Hopefully it will still sound nice though. Thanks for all the info. I'm actually going to have a spare $300 here within the week, so I'm most likely going to get it. If I was able to install my CAI myself, I'm confident that I'll be able to install this aswell. So the sensor is actually on the bottom instead of on top? I just noticed that...they flipped it upside down so to speak to hide it?

If your willing to give me some instructions, that would be great. I'll pm you if I get it.

well at first i had it so that the sensor was on top, but then i noticed that the hose wouldnt reach the connector to the throttle body if its pointing away from the car, so i reversed it having the sensor on the bottom and the hose connector pointing towards the car,
it should sound nice with your r/t exhaust
