Anyone dealt with the Airaid setups on the 3rd Gens..?

[CoMarc]

Hey guys,

I was looking around and found a link to a throttle body spacer that says it can improve torque along with fuel effeciency. Anyone tested this setup and know if it's even worth the money put into it? I've got the link below:

I've read a little bit on them, but wanted to see if anyone on the forums actually has experience with these or not and how y'all liked or disliked them. As always, thanks!

Throttle body spacers are a waste of money.

(sarcasm tb spacers aren't worth anything at all, maybe if your running nitro it'd be worth it.)

I did tbs, it whistles, people prolly think i have a supercharge, but I don't.

X 5 or 6?? yeah the only thing they don't do is add horse power and torque. They look cool, sound cool and give you small bragging rights but other than that for the Runner it wont do anything.

To take full advantage of the Tornado System, you need to add at least 4 stick on vents to the side of your ride:
