if its a stock throttle body which im guessing it is...then no they do not have an airfoil. and their not worth the 40 bucks for the 1 if any hp they give. i have only only because i got it for a few bucks....

well, ill admit, i bit the bullet on this one, i paid full price for mine. it looks cool and its fun to install. The intake sounds different when i press the gas, sounds more aggressive. thats the only difference i noticed. I don't mind though, I just enjoy working on this car.

any amount of hp gained helps in the end, although they are overpriced, you can find some no reserves auctions on ebay and get them for under 30 if your lucky
