Default Throttle Body Spacer

Are they worth it? Or just a waste of money.

Waste, fuel injected engines don't benefit enough for the $$$.

I agree. Had the PowerAid from Airaid and it did nothing but make a blower type of whistle. Spacers worked on hot rods back in the day when guys couldn't afford a high rise manifold, so spacers would be used for the same effect. But that's for carbureted engines only.

My JK had the PowerAid and Airaid CAI installed when I bought it a few months ago. The spacer does nothing as far as performance gains but looks pretty. Nice bright red. Only reason I left it on. And it does not whistle.

Dont mean to go against the grain but i got mine the same time I got my cai (Airaid & Poweraid) I like mine the two added some power and some throttle response. It is probably all the cool air intake but it was cheap getting them both so I did. Sounds good and runs good.
