Default TB Bypass ?

So is this throttle body by-pass thing that effective? is it worth it? and how does it even work, is it complicated? thanks

What intake manifold do you have? If you have the LS6 you can get 18" of 3/8 hose and that will be your bypass.

It doesnt have to be an 18" heater hose. I got it in 13" and cut the difference for the best fit, this was after I got paranoid with the bmr kit.

I have an LS1 intake, and I used a 3/8" hose. Works great (as far as not melting anything with the metal connectors from the BMR kit.
