Something like throttle body spacer does nothing to increase power or mileage. These cost about $2 to make on a CNC and it they really did have any benefit the manufacturers would have been using them long ago. The fact that something so cheap doesn't come on the vehicle to begin with is the first clue that they are a scam.

save your hard earned cash.it does nothing but cost you $$$$'s. i see you have a 2003 so the best dollars you can spend is opening up your crossover pipe like some of the guys have done. check yesterdays thread about stans pipe. that one and one from summit raceing will be your best starting point.
good luck and welcome to fte's v10 area were we help each other out.

It might, but the Y-pipe change looks like a definite item on my "to do" list with a cat back system eventually. I'm assuming Antelope still has his cat installed on the "Y-pipe" thread and reports a definite change in performance.
