I can see if you have a FAT floor mat under it. Maybe.. But people are going to flame on this regardless.
Just take the zip ties off and get a bored throttle body.
My floor mats are on a diet!!
They had to much zip tie crap.

ok kids, calm down. the guy posted a legitimate idea, may not have been the greatest of ideas, but it wasn't like he flushed out his engine with a garden hose.
you guys just took it and ran with it.

i would expect this behavior on pirate, but not here.

you all should just join the band...

OP is onto something here, after reading all the supporting comments I feel comfortable with this cheap mod. I'll report back soon, or watch the news if I don't. Oh and someone hold my beer.
