They aren't worth the money. All you will get is a horrible whistling sound. IMO it is a nice looking paper weight unless you use it for nos nozzles or something.

Forget about getting a tb spacer. They are a waste of money. I would go with Magnaflow if you are getting your exhaust done. Borla is very nice too but too dam expensive.

don't get one of the cat back exhaust systems, they are WAYYYYY over priced and don't really offer any gains that just throwing a magnaflow muffler in the place of the stock muffler would. if you want exhaust just have that big *** stocker cut out and put a dynomax bullet in there and be done with it. it'll look stock, sound sweet and be a good sleeper mod.

Throttlebody spacers are a great place for hiding nitrous nozzles,just hit with a 150shot and see some really big power gains.

Did this shop happen to be on 23rd in McAllen. If it is "Pobrecitos". I can't belive how the hell they stay in business. They are clueless as far as ls1 and ls1 based engines go.
