Throttle body: Waste of money

X pipe or H pipe is really a preference of sound...although, just be aware if you upgrade to something with high flow cats or especially no cats, your car is going to be obnoxiously loud with the muffler deletes.

This topic has been discussed countless times, a simple search would reveal that.


Forget the throttle body. Your better off with the 4.10s mentioned in your sig.

Here's one vote for a UPR X-pipe. Here's what my '06 sounds like with it.

Its not a complete waste of money, I wouldn't get it to increase HP but I would get it to improve throttle response. It's one of the last mods I would put on an N/A car but one of the first mods I would put on a F/I car.

I'm not sure how much it would improve response over a Race tune...honestly, I wouldn't WANT it more responsive than it is now. I had an upgraded throttle body on my old Turbo Coupe and it made the throttle more like an on/off switch, it was kind of annoying.

And, maybe it's worth more than 5 hp on a supercharged car, but that's not what this guy has.
