You're not alone. Some can just pop theirs off after sliding out the locking clip, but I struggled with mine. Eventually I discovered I had to press down on the plastic tab that the locking clip slides beneath, and bam, the plug released easily.

Thought I was going to break it before I figured it out.

For the money it is very cost effective mod...

This should be good reason to do it also:

2012 LFX
- Automatic Trans
- SLP Loudmouth Exhaust
- Rotofab CAI

This is the BEFORE and AFTER results of the VMax CNC Spiral Port Throttle Body off the shelf. Peak gains were 9rwhp/9rwtq+, however, gains across the board netted 11!!

You and I have twin cars - I did almost the exact same mods - go with the 4 pack gauges from Ofer at Gen5DIY - they look cool. You do lose the nice little tray where you keep your wallet and sunglasses, but they'll fit somewhere else!

Wish there was a little bit more storage in our cars.

CTcamaro1 · 08-31-2013, 12:20 AM

sunglasses and wallet can go in the arm rest, and yeah i wish for more storage but then again youre talking to someone with subwoofers in his car so maybe storage isnt really a concern for me

I hear you, idk it would haven been nice for like a sunglasses holder on the hood liner like many other cars have, or some small little storage space underneath or Next to the steering wheel. I basically resort to my cup holders for my wallet keys cellphone etc.

Beware of doing so because once you have attempted to do it yourself, your throttle body can no longer be used as a core.

never tried it, and i dont know of anyone who did, it took 2 days for the ported throttle body to come to me and i returned my core the same day i received mine, shipped it back and got my money back the next day so overall took 3 days

Porting Throttle Bodies is pretty intricate ordeal to say the least. I had a very good in-house porter back at a shop that I owned up north, he was excellent at porting but knew what he was doing. For the price of the CNC ported ones or hand ported from a reliable porter it's better off you go with a professional.
