Default Question about throttle body spacer

Hey guys, I'm not personally a mustang man myself, but I'm trying to help out my friend, whose boyfriend (who is also a close friend of mine) has a mustang 4.6L V8. She's trying to get him a good christmas gift.

I was wondering if this TBS would be a good pick (trying to keep it around $50 bucks):

If it whistles a bit that's not a big deal, his stang is cat-less and DAMN loud, I doubt it will be audible.

Also, does anybody have experience with that dealer? Are they reliable and fast?

Thanks in advance for any help guys.

TB spacers are worthless. Route a crazy straw from the driver's seat to the intake tube, and tell him to blow in it as he drives. It will result in a higher HP gain than the TB spacer.

Maybe you should market the crazy straw idea.


Well...cup holder bezel it is then.

Unless anybody else has a better idea for about 50 bucks.

I've heard mixed reviews about using a TBS with a SC.
Without one it's a definite waste of money.
