    I have it done for over 1.5 years. No problems whatsoever. Definitly feels stronger on cooler days.

    Yeah, it's a good cheap mod... Works well down to -50ºF (-46ºC), even in snow blizzards.

    mines been in a month or so now, temps down around 0'F a couple times, no problems so far.

    I don't know why they bother with heating the throttle body...it should be a regional thing...like the all weather package...maybe its a cost thing, they figure 'why not it only add $4 to the cost to manufacture', more work to leave it out than its worth, etc etc

    Been running mine for 2 years now. Throttle body is still plenty cool to the touch even with the engine warm... and HOLY COW is my car peppy when its warmed up and below freezing!

    The reason is that ULEV (ultra low emission vehicle) certification requires such a thing.

    P.S. I realized one thing yesterday. There is only one thing that is frustriting more then not having enough power. Its not being able to put that power through your wheels to the ground. It is pissing me off. LOL. I just cant wait till my brand new Falcon Ziex tires come back on.
