Exactly, it just doesn't come with an air foil from factory. So....... you can take it for granted someone's been there before.....

Alot of people make them, they are not factory. They are usually polished aluminum.

There isn't one....that's why it's an aftermarket upgrade. Someone put it in your car.

Stock there's nothing there, just a back plate with a hole in it. That's the premise of the air foil, to smooth the incoming air.

Honestly it's a useless mod. Although some aftermarket throttle bodies come with them machined into it.

Yea, the Air Foil directs it into the ports. Stock, there is nothing there. They help a little bit. For $20, it is not bad. Every little bit helps.

I bought an airfoil off of ebay and for some reason it looks like its a factory oem part but im not sure. It might be for a vette or something. I might be wrong though the part # is a5965 and it is a satin finish.
