Ok so I am looking to buy a cold air intake and also a throttle body spacer. I am wondering if you guys out there that have a throttle body spacer can tell me which one to get or not. There are a few different ones some look legit but others look iffy. Thanks

 

Those spacers are all useless. Don't waste your money. You'll hear that a lot from just about everyone on here.

 

^^ That

Expensive paper weight, or for nos.

 

Ha ok just making sure

 

I just bought a Ram 1500 with the CAI and spacer already installed. I hadn't looked into the spacers one way or another, but now I'm wanting to make sure that they don't cause more harm than good. If they're just "worthless," I'll go ahead and leave it in - it may not help, but it doesn't hurt either. If it's likely to cause performance issues or a reduction in mpg, I'll remove it.

Thanks!

 

I'm pretty sure you won't have any performance loss, but you won't have any gains either. They don't do anything. Just a good way to take people's money. You can just leave it in and maybe when you clean your throttle body next time just pull it off. You'll see that it really does nothing.

 

Yea same with my friend. He bought his CAI and it had the spacer. He said he could tell but idk he is full of himself.

 

You should try the Tornado.....

 

Don't do that man, they'll take you seriously!!!


But yeah, a TB Spacer had it's place about 15-20 years ago, but do nothing and can actually hinder performance on a modern TB engine.

I posted a while back an email from a tech at Air Raid who, when backed into a corner, stated that "you cannot measure any gains on a dyno"...

 

Yea those tornados look like a cut up pop can cheap as hell. I guess I will just still with the CAI then.
