LOL , I don't know how this is going to improve anything. If the throttle body is opening and closing I don't know where the improvement lies?

What is the point of this comment? Seriously? Obviously it works on other cars. If it doesnt work... oh well, someone is out $10, if it does, you just look like a douche.

You are the guy that made the same comment to the first guy that chopped holes in his stock airbox and called it the airbox mod.

The theory is sound, its inexpensive. if there is a MININMAL gain, then its worth it.

There is no room for comments and a mentality like this on this site. Beneficial or not it has no impact on you, so why do you even car, but just for the sake of it I hope it works, and I hope you eat your words.

At first I thought this was a good idea, but seeing how tempermental and easy those bolts seem to break, I prob wouldn't play with them too much.
