everyone says these are a waste of money, i would like to here from you if you have put one on your truck! did you notice any performance or mileage gains! thanks!

 

does nothing but make the motor whistle...please dont waste your money..

 

hey thanks! yea it says it helps bottom end performance! i new it was to good to be true.

 

my friend put one on his jeep cherokee and i can hear the whistle but he said he can feel a little more help sinc ehe put it on

 

check out ford trucks performance magazine, they have an article where they try the poweraid spacer.

 

remem what they said about it?

 

Hate to admit it but I tried one. I had the Airaid "Poweraid" TBS for about 6 weeks. Ended up selling it for $40 bucks (so I lost like $60).

A) The whistle sound drove me up the freaking wall after about 2 days.

B) I never dynoed the truck with it on but the butt dyno registered a drop in the mid to upper end if anything.

C) Over the time I had it my mileage stayed exactly the same, no changes.

The mods I had at the time were a tuner (went thru the Hypertech, Superchips and then settled on the Edge) and an Airaid intake. I also had the tonneau on so the MPG data is relatively constant.

Best advice, don't bother. Take the hundred bucks and buy a Optima battery at Costco or something that will make a difference for your truck.

 

I called Troyer on it, and they said they had never noticed any gains from one either...

 

I had one on my '97, and the whistle was awful, so I used some silicone gasket maker and it went away, but I swear it performed worse with it in.

Just a paper-weight. A really expensive, cool-looking paper-weight.
