    I had them on a Mercedes AMG for HP and a Honda Insight for MPG but I’m of the mindset now that nothing trumps keeping your engine as CLEAN as possible. Don’t skimp on engine air and oil filters. Buy the best and change them frequently and your engine will love you for it.

    The throttle body part that matters most is the edge where it seals. That affects the idle. Nice job!

    Just did mines at 40k and it was pretty clean. I noticed inside the tube I had to remove there was some oil. From the PCV? The fat hose connecting to the tube closest to the throttle body.
    Next up is the wife's 2011 Camry which should be filthy!

    Yes it’s blow by. Surprisingly inside of my intake tube was bone dry.
