Thinking about getting this with the airaid cai. Just want to hear thoughts on it, may increase mpg and has a nice sound from what I read.

Airaid Poweraid Mustang Throttle Body Spacer (2011-2012 V6) at AmericanMuscle - Free Shipping!

Everything that I read indicated it was a $130 paper weight. Avoid the spacer and go with the Tune/CAI.

I am not being dismissive. But having played with carb spacers galore over the years, which are still cheaper than this thing, I have concluded they are largerly the equivalent of buying your car a drink. If you conserve the $130, you can step up to a better whiskey yourself.

^^ agreed. cmon just think about it, dont be someone that thinks they'll be a GT from bolt ons. Its a little spacer, does nothing.

Save yourself the embarrassment of having someone see this on your car and send me the $130, you will gain just as much from it.

We need this posted as a sticky so this question can be put to rest...

haha how people fall for different claims from different people remind me of propoganda in WWII!

Relax people. I didnt fall for anything, or think this would turn me into a GT. I research everything I buy before pulling the trigger. I thought it might be a minor compliment to the cai but based on this feedback I guess not.

We're all relaxed, it's just that this is about the bazillionth time this has come up over the years.

Then just ignore the post and move on. You dont have to inject your opinion into every thread. This a 2011 v6 forum, nobody cares if you have been listening to it for "years" this is about the 2011-2012 cars.

You were the one getting in a twist over it, all the rest already knew.

Made a post a few months back about getting the throttle body spacer, was about to get it but reading everyone's comments made me change my mind. I instead saved up and got a CAI, best decision ever!

 

[RickAKATed10]

Had one on my last car. The whistle makes you think it's doing something, but I actually think it hurt my MPG and I couldn't feel any difference in performance from it.

This thing seems to be getting pretty good reviews on the AM site. I wonder if they are Airaid employees trying to push the product, or if it is a placebo effect.

You have to be careful when you read the AM reviews since they do not differentiate between car models. Read the bama tune reviews and you'll see what I mean. So the spacer may be great for a mustang ii but not the 3.7l.

You mean I cant slap on a GT badge to become a GT car? :gringreen

Spacers are only good when they have an integrated spray bar for nitrous. Otherwise they're for carbs.

My dad has one with a K&N CAI on his truck... it does nothing at all, he thought it would help his mpgs, it didn't do anything other than make the K&N whistle a little louder... hahaha
