Default Question for those with a throttle body spacer...

does a throttle body spacer increase the sound under the hood at all?

i have the AAM one. the only reason i have this installed is due to the additional vacume/pressure ports that are installed in it. it provides a great tap off for my fuel pressure regulator, BPV, and boost gauge. sound wise i have no idea due to my s/c and exhaust note kind of over power all other engine related sounds.

hah, those are just ten posts on a 350z forum... i have a g35. more posts on the g35forum... but i didnt find much info on "sound of throttle body spacer" over on the G35 forum, so i thought i'd give it a shot here.

any other imput related to the sound of the throttle body spacer is appreciated.. thanks

Well a MREV2 does change the sound of the engine quite a bit..it deepens it more and you get nice power gains.

they are mainly used for additional vacuum ports.

but they are cheap. why not just buy it (but make sure it has the rifled inlet)? someone would buy it used from ya if you didnt like it anyhow.

Were you the moron that started another thread about this, and when told they were a waste of money decided to make another one in a different location?

SRSLY now?

negative. i believe this this is my first thread ever on my350z, and i dont have any other accounts. and not everyone says tbs's are a waste of money, which is why i made this thread asking if there is a sound difference.

So no, im not that moron... you are incorrect, sir.

SRSLY.

just checked, and i made three other threads awhile back... one was about if a 350z popcharger would fit on a g35, one was selling a sway bar end link, and the other was a thread about wanting to buy some 350z springs. NONE having to do with a throttle body spacer.

SRSLY.
