helix power tower is in, and a ? about my alignment

OOOOKKKK so my helix power tower throttle body spacer is in, it makes it sound SLIGHTLY better, not really noticeable under normal driving conditions. if you have $73.50 to blow and don't really have anything else to buy, MABYE you should consider this one. i also got the old noisy version. don't waste ur time/money on the new one b/c it does nothing at all.

also i got my alignment yesterday from a guy at the honda dealership. i got it under the table for only $25! he corrected everything but he said if i want the rear to be 100% perfect i would have to get a camber kit. right now it's off by 1 degree. will this do a lot of damage? i heard from some ppl that u can offset ur camber by up to 2 degrees and it won't do much. i don't really have $150 for a camber kit, so i'm trying to determine if i absolutely need one. thanks for advice

accord v6 owners said they gained 3hp on the dyno, i doubt i'd feel that. i haven't really noticed any, but i haven't really been driving that hard. I mainly got this thing to increase my gas mileage and for the sound .

the throttle body spacer, im sorry to say, is a ricer mod. you yourself said it best "i also got the old noisy version. don't waste ur time/money on the new one b/c it does nothing at all." perhaps the new version is actually better... the only difference is it doesnt make the noise. dont take it personal... its just that i've seen a lot of pewople buy this thing solely because it sounds cool... thats pretty retarded.

He said he bought in mainly for the increased gas mileage...and if you have exhaust on your car, its the same basic deal bud...mostly for the sound, no real power gains.

your the one that said "don't waste ur time/money on the new one b/c it does nothing at all. "
by nothing at all... you mean the sound. because im sure it does everything else better. therefore, i was paying attention.

actually, i wouldn't know if the old one did anything besides make noise YET because i just had it for a few days. i don't know if my gas mileage has increased. therefore the old one at least makes sound, hopefully it will increas gas mileage as well. now, i'd appreciate it if you'd stop being such a prick

i apologize if i came off as a prick... it was not my intention, just stating an opinion. i hope it really does do everything it advertises.
