Thumbs up

I agree! The velocity stack MIGHT work IF you could get it to stay in the mouth of the throttle body with the shitty system they have to hold it in. The little cotter pins don't want to clip in, and the stack keeps falling out into the tube. I can't feel comfortable with that set up as it is.

I have to say no also. The spacer makes a kinda cool whistle sound.

I tried the Velocity Stack, and it actually worked. It only advertises increase in torque though. The SSS feels better in first and second. I didn't clip it in, cause it pushes in and stays for me. I figured what the hell when ordering, but was surprised. Alot cheaper than a TB.

I went with the Airaid tb spacer and intake at the same time. Wish I would have spent my $100 on another mod than the tbspacer. I like the intake though and did pick up some mpg with both mods. only thing I like about the spacer is the whistle sound it makes.

I got my vr vstack for free. I didnt notice much but there is a slight difference. I little more throttle response for sure. I havent had any problems with it slippin into the intake, but i have the k&n tube. I'm not sure if i would pay full price for it though
