You wont notice a damn thing. But it's a good piece to use in conjunction with a CAI, and a smooth bellows to ensure maximum airflow with minimal turbulence.

Save your $$$ and fill up your tank a couple times.

You will see 1-3 HP TOPS. The only time it will make a diff is when you are running some SERIOUS power, and usually by that point you've already bought a new TB.

Just my $.02

Its a good cheap excuse to not upgrade your Throttle Body to me.

I would say first get yourself a cai. You could find a used one for around $100 in the for sale section. When you do that you could get an airfoil that is what I did.

Oh yea, I forgot that part. You wont notice any type of gain. I say get a moroso or K&N cai and then the airfoil could make a 1-3 hp diff. not much but not bad considering you probably paid around $30 for it.

I think I am going to go with hooker myself. I have heard they have a very mellow sound until you get on the throttle. And I have read numbers that their mufflers flow a lot better then most companies. I have also heard good things about magnaflow. In that price range. But hooker is my personal favorite.
