For those who already did THROTTLE BODY BYPASS

After doing this to your car, did you feel any difference? Is it worth doing this?

I didn't improve my ET or mph AT ALL after doing this mod. It was a lot of frustration for nothing, for me. However because so many others have seen a gain I would still have to suggest this mod. It's so cheap to do!

My experience is not an added horsepower per say....


Let me explain. My car felt strong when first started in the morning... as the day got warmer and in traffic the car got a bit slower.. after the mod it feels the same as fresh in the morning as it does hot in heavy traffic. I guess it kept me from loosing power.

its worth it, but you wont feel anything as in HP wise. just do it and get it over with.
