I've searched for one and have never been able to find a TB spacer for the Marauder.

Do these things do any good on the Marauder? I took mine off my truck due to the obnoxious whistling noise it made. Didn't see any noticeable improvement either.

Don't know if it helps or even if it applies, but the Ford 6.8L V10 uses the twin 57mm throttle body. The 2V's do anyway. I tend to think the TB spacer would be the same if you find an application for the V10.

I noticed this when buying a twin 65mm BBK throttle body for my truck. Same throttle body applies (part#1711) to both the 4.6l Cobra and the 6.8l V10

The whistling noise is a common complaint among most of the guys on the Ford truck site I frequent. Actually, whistling doesn't really describe all that accurately what mine did. It sounded more squealing belt. Some folks swear by them though. It just wasn't a good trade-off for me. I do hope it works out for you though!

OK, Here is the link to PHP's website and the INTAKE Manifold Spacer:

A throttle body spacer may increase output by a few HP but ONLY at the top end.
You most likely WILL see a decrease in HP and TRQ at lower rpm.
Your choice - it's your car!

"Better fuel atomization" or something or other.

Apparently it works.

You do get more flow with the spacer but I think with similar results as the T/B spacer.
blackened300a has the intake spacer as well as the Accufab T/B.
He has done extensive tuning with these mods - in stages.
His opinion on this would be very reliable.

I got one from trnas dapt. It worked. Fit, that is. Didin't do much else - oh yeah, I had to mess with the idle set screw on my accufab TB.

Not worth it at all.
