JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Airaid CAI and poweraid throttle body spacer. Everything went very smooth with zero problems.

After a couple days I've noticed a decent difference in power and a definite increase in acceleration. The jeep feels more " open " and less restricted when your driving around normally.

The airaid cold air intake and throttle body spacer did good. I already had exhaust work done and a superchips flashpaq installed which most people say you should do to get the best benefit from the CAI and spacer.

After driving to work and everything all this week I'm going to check to see if there is a mpg gain so ill check back then.

Well after driving for a week I'm up 2 mpg so not a huge difference but hey I'll take all I can get when we are paying 4 dollars a gallon. Most of my driving was local with a little highway so if I got on the highway a little more I'm sure it would be better.

I agree I have zero regrets. My jeep sounds a lot more throaty and has power and torque gains. With the gas saving it will make up its cost in about 46 weeks if my math is correct haha.

Worst case it still looks good when you lift the hood.

What exactly does the throttle body spacer do?
