Default Airaid TB spacer for 2012

I saw Airaid has a TB spacer available for the 2012 but it seems expensive.

Do TB spacers work or is it a waste of $?

It all varies according to each driver for some reason. I got one and noticed my MPG improved by about 0.5 MPG, and I noticed a slight change in my engine at around 45-50 MPH.

I have the airaid cold air dam intake and that is all you need notice a difference in pick up, not much on the mpg. Don't waste your money on the TB spacer. Programmers are the way to go true performance, power, and mpg. That will be my next investment.

I would love to get a tuner but it's taking forever for one to come out for the 2012. I guess I'm just impatient.

no, the aev just adjusts for tire size, gear changes, some electrical changes, but no power increase tuning

I was just reading the installation instructions that are available on their web site. One thing stood out,
"The sound of power...The “whistle” means its working!".

Get the TB spacer, but instead I can sell you some snake oil to add to your engine oil that will give ya 50 more HP and 15 more mpg at a baragan of a price.

All joking aside TB spacers are a gimmick, don't waste your money.
