Alot of people who get them, do swear on them. I bought on just because it might make the CAI look cooler, then I decided not to go with the CAI. I don't know if I will even put the spacer on, I think I wasnt the mopar filter, or an oval one; haven't seen that yet.
Go pop your hood and look at your intake manifold and Look where your throttle body is located on it, and explain to me how you think a throttle body spacer is going to help that system? Why do you think it would it help? Because it costs money? Alot of the people who get them and swear on them probably don't drive dodge rams, and you should look at the intake manifold of the car that they drive, and you'll understand why it works on thiers and not on yours. They're vehicles are throttle body injection, our trucks are port injectionIt's about as funny as the idea of a "Cold air intake" cooling the air inside your CAST ALUMINUM intake. That stores and enormous amount of air that heats up the second it comes in...

Now on a plastic intake manifold a cold air intake makes alot of sense...

Thrush Mufflers suck. I've had 2 rust out on me in 4 years, that's why I spent more money ona Magnaflow.

I'll go snap some pictures of it tomorrow when it's light out. There's pictures of the front and pictures taken from the driver side in my gallery if you want to use those for reference for the time being.

a glasspack muffler like the one i have is a straight thru muffler you can see straight thru it its pretty much like a a pipe that has fiberglass packed around the outside and it lets the exhaust flow a little easier but on mine i just cut right before the muffler and the slid it on clamped it down and the used the end of the stock tail pipe to run the exhaust back out to where it dumps out in front of the rear wheel on the passenger side it looks pretty good and sounds bad ***
