First off, who has them? RPMoutlet.comis out of stock. Jet wants $140 shipped, just wondering if anyone else has it cheaper.

Second, will I need a new tune for this?

PM don_w. I think he is selling his since it will not work with his shaker setup.

And no, you will not need a tune.

I had this one saved in my favorites for a later purchase.
martelbrothers.com
They are asking $97.97 with $8.99 shipping. The pic looks different, but the part number is the same as the one posted on this thread.

Auto Anything = 93.95 w/ free shipping

http://www.autoanything.com/category.aspx?...le_body_spacers

Got my K&N drop filter from them a couple months ago and they sent me an e-mail today. Wanted to know what I thought about it and gave me a $10.00 coupon (I let my buddy have the drop filter for his 'stang since I might get a CAI after my 06 arrives).

Hope this helps

Jewls..I have one of these puppies...and they don't need a tune,and you will love results! I got mine awhile back from RPM outlet for about 90.00. Sorry they are backorderd...but you may want to just ask out there if anyone who got one wants to sell...'cause the new TB's are coming out! Can't use both!

Came in the mail yesterday. I was surprised at how heavy it is. It is now at the powder coating guy's place, so once installed I will give a full report.

Description:
Send your combustion chamber a performance-enhancing air charge without all the noise. Many throttle body spacers on the market are plagued by loud hissing and whistling. Thanks to the intrepid tuners at JET Performance, their innovative bore design eliminates unwanted sound, while still causing incoming airflow to smooth out and speed up. The result is an optimized mixture of air and fuel that gives you gains in the mid-range power band and even increases your fuel economy.


What will the dealer say about this when you take it in for service?

It does not void your warranty. The dealer will not care. I just had it in 2 days ago with everything mod on my car including the T/B Spacer.

Well, they have yet to say anything to me about my mods, so I would guess it does not matter.

Lots of folks on here are doing just that with their JLT and K&N CAI kits. I don't recall seeing anyone put the TBS on with a C&L though. I will be installing the TBS on my car with the JLT tomorrow morning - I can't wait!

I have a call into Lidio right now to get the C&L with the Auto tune. I'll ask him if a throttle body spacer will work with it because that was the next step this week.

BTW, the spacer does add a slight whistle with a short ram intake. I can notice it, especially at higher rpms.
