I did the throttle body bypass for less than $6. Woohoo! Found me a 1/4" to 1/4" hose barb connector doodad ($1.40), 3/16" rubber caps ($2.00), and two hose clamps ($0.85 a piece). Haven't driven it yet, but hopefully the seat of the pants-o-meter will give me good results.

It's not gonna be that much increase, but it will definately have cooler air coming in now.

Let's face it, the red hair... makes 'em wet.
Yeah, the theory behind it definatley makes sense (cooler air), I don't live in Antarctica, so I don't think my throttle body will ever have a problem of freezing!Originally posted by boonybouncer@Sep 18 2004, 02:08 PM
