Which throttle body spacer to get?

I'm looking to get a throttle body spacer, and was wondering what different brands everyone has? Right now I'm looking at the Helix Throttle Body spacer and was wondering if anyone has one and can let me know how they like it? I'm open to any and all opinions on which one to get because I honestly don't know that much about them. Let me know what you guys have!

I've seen both opinions like you guys have said. I've seen before and after dyno tests from videos I've watched and accords and tls gain anywhere from 3-5 hp mid range and full range. Other people claim they don't do anything like that video you posted and I've seen others as well. Idk who to believe! Cause some dyno tests show that it doesn't do anything either. There's so much conflicting information about these things. I appreciate you putting that video up for me

I use the port for water/ meth. Only reason why I have it. Also our car do not have CARBs we have port side injection so there no issue with getting the right fuel mixture and extra. Just buy the P2R MDX spacer. That forsure will net you 10tq and a few whp

I dynoed before and after P2R spacer+TG on my 06' M/T:

1.13WHP / 1.38WTQ 3rd Gear
1.12WHP / 0.68WTQ 4th Gear


Just my humble experience.

^ not worth the money. Save it for a J-pipe or a manifold spacer/riser

thats what I'm saying, in theory they don't work and you just proved it with numbers. 100 something bucks for 1 whp

Get the TB bored out for nearly same price
