Hi Guys:
        I'm a new member here, nice forum, I have a question for you, is there a bigger throttle body for the 2017 exp sport that doesn't require drill/modification like the BBK 70mm? I don't like the idea of drilling in the car. I'm looking for better performance, I already installed a bigger intercooler, a throttle body spacer (not a big fan) and the BOV VTA adapters, I also put a Dry AFE power filter on it. The truck is amazing with great power but I want something for better breathing before tuning it. Thanks in advance.

hello and welcome.

frankly, a throttle body wont do as much for breathing as downpipes will, optimized with a tune. 3" downpipes are possible but will be a tight fit. back in the day, you had to choose the manufacturer carefully.

PPE used to be the goto. you can checkout ecopowerparts.com / talk with Mike re your options. you can also head over to shoforum.com and ask your question. pretty much that is where all the SHO and some XSport guys are now.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
