ok ok ... i know they are a waste of money, and they do not increase peformance, but me personally I like the sound of them. On with the the question ...

I see there are 4 different kinds of TBS we can get for our Trucks:
- Taylor Cable Helix Power Tower Throttle Body Spacer
- Airaid PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer
- aFe Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacers
- Jet Power-Flow TBI Spacer

To anyone who has had these if you can please tell me the sound it made if any, and how loud it is compared to the others. Not looking for a really loud one or one that is completely silent, want something in the middle. I see AFE makes one that is supposed to reduce the noise a little, and AFE is a company I trust somewhat, so leaning toward that right now. Thinking it may go along with my intake somewhat considering AFE makes TRD. Anyone have any input on how theirs sounded ???

Afe doesn't make a noise. From all the vehicles I've driven with them the airaid makes a whistle. Hell it says if it whistles, its working.

Have you heard an AFE on a Taco ? or just on others ? and how does the Airaid/Poweraid sound ?

I had the AFE when I got Lucario, it was a freebie mod from a taco buddie. I sold it cause it didn't do anything. I say go for the NST spacer. But if you want get the airaid one for the noise.

I really think those TBS things are one of the biggest wastes going.

Now with that said if you all want to start a GB list for the aFe TBS I will do that for you, but you will not see them on the URD site.

I would say save your money or get the nst intake manifold spacer.

But if I was to choose one I would go with the Jet Flow one because its the cheapest and the reviews say it whistles loud (which you want).
