    Will a throttle body spacer and a cold air intake void a warranty on a 2020 JL?

    Some mods to the engine could create an issue with FCA warranty concerns. IMO those mods should be reserved when the warranty is over. Some jeepers have removed similar mods prior to getting the jeep serviced but ymmv

    Why are you asking? Are you going to put them on? Pretty much all they do Is look cool. You’ll notice very little to no difference

    Throttle body spacer is of little use on a direct injected engine.

    Ive read several reviews going both ways. Im undecided on the throttle body spacer but I've used cold air intakes before and it helps. They can sound good too.

    A throttle body spacer was for carb or throttle body injected engines where it would give the air/fuel a bit more time to atomize, on a direct injected engine it's just giving the air further to go.

    I bought both and put them on. K&M cold air intake and rough country spacer. I believe it has better pick up and did very well at the beach yesterday. Has a nice sound too.
