there is not a company that makes one for the 01. Trans-Dapt advertises one, but it is a screw up on their part, its for SOHC only. I b*tched at them for days about that one. Finally after threatening with a lawyer, they paid me back for the part and my idle controller their part fried. sorry bro, no can do unless you have a stock intake and go with a "terminator". Itsa aluminum can that has fins cut out to spin the air. wouldn't waste the cash, just my thoughts

thanks i looked in summit for him but didn`t see one. he bought one but it was for the regular 4.6 and was way differant. he also bought an intake for it as well AEM i think but it was for the regular 4.6 as well. i told him to just stick with bbk or steeda. as far as buying stuff. i think he knows now what the differance between sohc and dohc means.

Any kind of intake spacer is a total waste of money on EFI vehicles. They don't do squat.

+1, they don't do squat. It's just marketing to sell you something you don't need. Bolting on a Throttlebody spacer gives you as must power as putting a sticker on your windshield! Save your money for a more useful product.
