unless you're forced induction, a throttle body has minimal effects. Especially considering our manifolds are plastic and cant be shaved to a larger diameter. Get a CAI, Tune, and exhaust first.

Do your homework. The info is all over this and other forums. Don't waste your money on an aftermarket TB unless you're FI or heavily modded internally. And I'm sure you're aware that going to duals will gain you a little exhaust note and minimal if ANY, power. If you want to put your money in some power, it's a CAI & CUSTOM tune.

Be careful with the BBK aswell... They have history of the gears jamming causing the TB to get stuck or open... I would check out the Zabteck TB.

Top 2:
Tune/cai
Dual exhaust

No on the TB and NO on a TB spacer!
