The
HP gains
from a TB
spaceer are
negated by
the added
weight of
said TB
spacer.

the zabteck is an actual throttle body, not just a spacer.

Buy one a powder coat it the color of your car. It wont gain you any power but it will give you +1 for looks.

Yeah it's worth it if you're looking for a unique looking paper weight. But if you're talking about your car.....nope.
