A throttle body spacer on the XJ is a complete waste of hard earned money. Spacers work on throttle body injected vehicle and the XJ is multiport injected, MPI. Meaning instead of the fuel spraying directly into the throttle body it is sprayed through multiple injectors directly into the intake manifold. A spacer helps a TBI vehicles by increasing the amount of air inside the intake manifold that the fuel has to mix with, more air = more power. Since the injectors on a XJ are located right at the ports for the head, a spacer will not increase airflow or give any H-power benefits.

Let's all calm down here, shall we?
The problem you'll find with reading reviews is that most people don't know what they're talking about. It won't hurt anything to have a TB spacer on there, but if get a refund if it's an option for you. To be quite frank, it was a waste of money. But whether or not you're okay with that is your decision. We all live and learn

Me annoying? You are the one who's goddamn annoying. Everything was nice and quiet until you came back and started spamming everywhere with pictures of naked guys. It's really outrageous. I had enough of it!
Keep that **** in the closet, yo!
