Does anyone know of a company that makes a throttle body spacer for the 2.2L cobalt?

I don't really think that they do any good on our cars with the intake manifold like it is, but they are supposed to increase intake velocity and mix fuel better to create more power.

There is at least one company that makes one, but I don't recall which company it was.

Let me ask you a question. Why do you need a throttle body spacer?

i was wondering if it helped in any way performance or otherwise but i might make my own.
i will probably wait to see if any one has done the mod succsessfully and made it work in some positive way.

Well wat a throttle body spacer does is its designed to increase speed and volume to the incoming intake air, and atomize the fuel more efficiently increasing HP, and MPG. A throttle body spacer is a fairly simple modification to add to your vehicle, installation time is less than 30 minutes with very basic hand tools. But thats if u dont have 2 drill your own holes... if u still decide 2 do this.. GOOD LUCK!

The spacers are nice for nitrous, other than that... i can't think of a good reason.
