Throttle Body Spacer? Your thoughts

Ok... i was looking around and came across a throttle body spacer for the 4runner. does anyone have any experience with these? are they worth the time and money spent? also, are they have to install.. i would not think so but are there any stupid things that came up. heres an example of one i found.

I dont think it will add any power. But it will make a really cool noise. I would get one just for the sound if they werent so expensive.

Spacers work great, IF you have a carb, or throttle body injection. With port injection, like the 3.4 and 3.0 they do nothing, except maybe lighten your wallet a bit. If you're that desperate for a lighter wallet send me the money

Bingo... just a few extra inches for the air to travel.
