Hyundai builds awful cars. I had one and it broke down 2 months after paying it off. Sucky cars!!!!

@@OldeCarrGuy actually, no it's not, an opinion is something that's not factual. It's a fact that Hyundai sucks.

@jimr5703 3 года назад

Yours is an isolated experience - THAT is a FACT. If you've had 16 Hyundai cars and a majority of them were crappy, you might have a valid claim. I was nervous when I bought my first one, but it's worked out fine. I've had 4 of them for myself and my family and I've been quite happy with every one. Currently I'm driving a 2018 Sonata with 75,000 miles and it has been flawless. I've even done some light towing with the two Sonatas I've owned. No problems at all.

Besides a slight increase in hp, the spacer improves vacuum line response which increases the performance overall.

Exactly. Better throttle response i think is how i worded it. Thanks for the clarification!

@OldeCarrGuy 4 года назад

Yes they did! We have been successful on a few occasions.

@Str8sixfan 5 лет назад

I regret I didn't think of mentioning it before you got to this point...but you could have also "knife edged" the throttle body disc when you were cleaning it. Basically leave the back side the same dimension, but you taper the front side down so that it allows air to slide past it faster/sooner when it's opening. Sorry Jr. had to go through that, but I appreciate your attitude about it. Usually my stomach feels like it's trying to wedge itself under my lungs in those situations.

@OldeCarrGuy 5 лет назад

Installing the same one on my 03 grand marquis and what the heck did they send me 3 brackets for???? I’m worrying myself that I must have missed something but my setup is same as yours and in the video I only see you using two of them

@OldeCarrGuy Год назад

It's been so long now since I did this, but I'm sure I just used what I needed to make it work.

@ssgsschiraq8858 Год назад

@OldeCarrGuy Год назад

I agree. Quite responsive!

@silverstar12100 Год назад

Also in your application how did the recirculating hose on the rear of the engine still reach the port in the air intake piping ? Do I just need a new rubber elbow with an inch longer on one end?

@OldeCarrGuy Год назад

Again, due to it being so long ago, I don't specifically remember having an issue!

@silverstar12100 Год назад

I ended up just getting a bigger L pipe and cutting it to fit so problem solved, never ended up using th e third bracket but man I was actually impressed with the new throttle responce, I have a k&n filter with the stock box and piping and am definitely happy with the results. Thanks for the video!

@robertbenson8353 2 года назад

Did this on my 06 cvpi and seen a noticeable difference in throttle response. Data log shows a slight increase in airflow. Combined with my full cat delete that was making the car run a little rich I think a throttle body spacer will help even more to get my afr where it needs to be. Idk how much of a power gain it will make if any at all but I'm sure it will be minimal.

@peterkang7640 10 месяцев назад

Hey Buddy amazing video! After watching yours I decided to install the same one on my 2000 MGM. The only worry I have is that the throttle body return spring is now too tight, since it has been stretched out the distance of a spacer from stock set up. This makes me have to push the gas’s paddle harder to accelerate. Did the same problem applied to you? Or is it something we just have to live with after the mod😂

@OldeCarrGuy 10 месяцев назад

It's been 4 years since this video, but I don't recall there being an issue. Maybe see if you can relocate the spring connection to some place more forward to help ease the tension.

@123alez 4 года назад

Did the spacer make any difference?

@OldeCarrGuy 4 года назад

In theory, Yes! Slightly better throttle response. Every little bit you do to enhance your engines performance helps. You may not notice it alone, but it works together with the high flow air filter, the true dual exhaust, the premium fuel, the plugs, and coils. You would probably gain 20-30 hp doing all of those!

@redpillproductionscanada5563 4 года назад

Would this match up with the electronic TB on the 2005+ ?

@OldeCarrGuy 4 года назад

I believe the mounting is the same but I can’t be 100%. If you look it up by year you’ll be fine.

@The07gt 5 лет назад

Question. Seeing that I’m trying to do better performance on my 08 grand marquis. I’ve seen and read that a cold air intake is not worth it for these cars unless a tune is done. I was wondering if I get a air intake from a cop car that I believe is similar to the marauder one. Would that be the best to do instead of spending $300 on a cold air intake?

@OldeCarrGuy 5 лет назад

If you didn’t see my video on this, I mentioned that you definitely want a high flow filter! As far as cold air intake, it’s pretty tough to accomplish that on a Panther as it gets its air from ambient temperatures under the hood. Bang for buck, add a high flow filter rather than spending big bucks trying to get something you can’t! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-af8lcaUa__o.html

Not as a stand alone product. But thats not it's intended purpose anyway. Its meant to improve throttle response. However, if you combined a performance intake, high flow/cold air intake and dual exhaust you might set 10 hp.

@thomasdaum1927 2 года назад

Have tried these spacers on several different vehicles , have had ( No ) noticeable improvement in. Gas milage or power ! If they worked then why wouldn’t the factory add one or incorporate the design into the intake manifold ??? In my opinion these are mostly ( snake oil ) and the only benefit is to the bank account of the manufacturer !……..

@OldeCarrGuy 2 года назад

To a point I would agree with you, but, the bigger picture is a bunch of small mod’s alone do nothing but together the will work to add throttle response, HP and torque. All I need now is the Marty tune and we’re golden.

@thomasdaum1927 2 года назад

@@OldeCarrGuy Thanks for responding , the only thing I can see it really dose is increase the length of the plenum by one inch. Drag racers do that to increase velocity on very built engines. Once again if it really made a difference ( Ford , Gm or Chrysler ) would have already done it because they have unlimited equipment for testing way beyond small companies abilities. The spacers won’t hurt any but I think you will get very beneficial results !
