It doesn't make a difference. If you like the whistle, leave it in. Otherwise I hear they make a great paperweight

If it has a NOS port, then it's slightly more valueble than a paper weight. If you don't/won't run NOS, then you wasted some money on it.

The throttle body spacer is only goin to sound good. The only way its ever goin to really do anything for you is save you a little bit of gas when your cruisin at a constant speed like on the interstate.(what ive heard) I just keep mine in for the whistle.

The do absolutley nothing for port injected engine, NOTHING. They've been proven time and time again to have no effect on anything, besides the whistle.

I just call it NOS because it's quicker to spell than N-I-T-R-O-U-S, and people know that NOS is synonymous with nitrous. But forgive me for using ricer termonology. It shan't happen again!
