Hey Kevera, No sweat! Did it improve your gas mileage at all? I recieved mine just the other day. I May install this wknd, but I just ordered a Cosmo SRI, so I may wait and install both at the same time.

I can't give you an honest answer about mileage improvement,but It probably did.Maybe that's why I didn't like it.,lol.But,out of everyone that has purchased one,I was the only one dissatisfied.One another note,I would install them both at the same time,since you have most of it off anyways,good luck.

Kev if you still have it and don't want it, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands for some payment of course.

ok, well I gotta be a pessimist just like a few others on here. A TB spacer does nothing but provide a very nice point for water/meth or nitrous. It does not increase performance or MPG. Sorry, lots of guys have tried to convince otherwise, but its not doing a thing. Making a longer intake by an inch with some swirls does not increase turbulance nor is it nearly long enough to "cool the incoming air". Your much better off getting a heat shield for your SRI or WAI than wasting money on this. Yes im new on this site, but ive been around performance parts long enough to know when your being duped on a lot of things

What engine do you have? Most likely it will fit but just to verify......

It has to be the drive by cable 1ZZ. The intake manifold bolts to the throttle body differently, he would not be able to use the same spacer as the drive by wire versions (05+).
