I was browsing Rpm outlets the other day and i found throttle body spacers for $89. RPMoutlets said they increase horsepower by 10 and add 2 mpg depending on one's driving style. For the price it seems like an inexpensive mod, that while it might not increase horsepower that much, the fuel economy gain was very nice for the price. 2 mpgs is alot especially if you make a lot of road trips like i do. My question is : Is this a bunch of bs or do they really work that well? And i assume that you would have to get a tune also, right? Thanks for the imput.

Years ago, everyone that I knew, that had one, raved about it. I decided to try one on a chevy truck (that I no longer own). The spacer made it whissle...that's all that I noticed. If you spray nitrous, it would probably help it mix better with the incoming air.

My tuner told me not to waste my money on them.

0 hp but does ad some torque. Also known to help with the throttle lag. That alone is worth $90. Just don't buy it from RPMOUTLET...Find it somewhere else if you're going to buy it...Just a word of caution...

I have heard a lot of really bad things about rpm outlets, and i have also heard really good stuff about them also. What's the deal with them?

50/50 chance you get someone that actually gives a shlt. Their cust svc leaves a lot to be desired for. If your order goes through with no problems and you're satisfied with the product, you're good to go. But if your order gets dorked up or you're not satisfied with the product, chances are pretty good you are going to have a very frustrating time dealing with them. They're about selling only and not taking care of the customer... IMO...

Throttle response increased slightly with the spacer for me. There was no increase in gas mileage.

I didn't have a problem with RPMoutlet, but then again I have heard their horror stories that have been mentioned above. I probably wont' deal with them again and just take it as luck that I didn't have a problem the first time.
