LOL! What's wrong with BBK? That's what I have on my car and it seems fine. That wasn't me that voted though.

They are not BAD throttle bodies but I would definetly not consider them the best. Your lucky you have no whistling problems, everybody I know in my area with a BBK TB has a horrible whistling noise. You can fix it but they still dont even look the best. I would give BBK a 5 on a scale from 1-10. Just my opinion though

My 1st TB/EGR was a FMS 65mm. I then grew into a BBK 70mm and it whistled like crazy. I now have a nice shiny 70mm Accufab and it doesn't whistle.
