Re: ----Throttle Body Spacer----
Don't you think if the engineers could get a bit more HP and mpg with a throttle body spacer it would be designed in at the factory?
Some engines now have longer intake manifold runners which kind of simulates the old high rise manifolds.

Re: ----Throttle Body Spacer----
So to summarize:
1: don't touch the engine!
2: Exhaust is cool for sound
3: Air intake is good for consumption
That's it?

OH CHIT !!!
He saw it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
H-3's have FACTORY COLD AIR INTAKES
Why doesn't anyone believe OLD MEN? We have more experence then you...
The air box in the engine compartment is sealed and air is fed from the right wheel well area. Don't use an oil based intake filter, BAD for the sensors.
Put your hard earned money into an exhaust system or HORNSBY's HARD CIDER (much better then beer 5.5% alc)
OR
Just send it to me for my H-3 lookalike wheel chair !!!
