Throttle body spacer
Hey guys I have a 2005 srt6 crossfire, and I have aftermarket dual cold air intakes and my throttle body spacer keeps breaking. I've replaced it once already and I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a reinforced throttle body spacer?

Re: Throttle body spacer
I hate to tell you this but your custom intake is all metal and has no give. The only rubber is the throttle body gasket and it's getting torn apart when the engine torques over or otherwise moves around. All the other intakes have silicone hose to the throttle body for that reason. It can twist and allow some movement. You'll have to figure out where to modify what you have for some give and flex. IMO.
