Default 2013 Jeep Wrangler UNLTD | AFE Throttle Body Spacer
Anybody running a AFE throttle body spacer in a 3.6 liter 2012-13 Jeep Wrangler UNLTD?

Does it produce power or is it a waste of money?

I have one in my 3.8 (I know you're asking about the 3.6) that came in it when I bought it. I do not think it does anything except a cool whistle sound. Honestly, I don't think it does much for any vehicle/engine. If it does add any power, I don't notice it. I would say it is not worth the price. Someone may have another opinion though.

Put your hard earned money elsewhere on your rig. Spacers on a EFI motor do not produce
enough savings/power to see. I'm talking on the 3.8 but pretty sure the 3.6 would be the same. Good luck
