First off, this should not have been pposted in For Sale. Secondly, that is the price they have always been isn't it? Keep in mind that does include shipping and handling AND Rside is dropping them from production so you may not see them again.

I'm in a big need of TB, but I don't see myself paying $350. $280 would be max.

Yeah thats a bit steap. If you look at Real-Engineering they have the 58mm Tigerlilly one still and it is $250. They also have the 65mm one for $300. A lot better prices than those.......

It's not us guys, it's RSide. It shocked me too, but remember that we don't make much on any of the parts we sell, especially on the TB's. Rside is so lopsided on the prices, but they are making these again because we asked, and yes, BECAUSE THE US MARKET HAS BOUGHT LOTS FROM RSIDE.

Considering that other site you found that was over $400 shipped, this isn't THAT bad.

As for the Tigerlilly's, they are still on our site, but if you noticed what David said before, they are being discontinued also. I'm trying to get David to stock the System GTR BBTB's, but if no one else emails him about it, it prolly won't happen.

Dude, spend $30 to $50 on ebay for a 4.6L mustang Throttle body. Rape out the top holes 1/8th of an inch to the inside, and you'll have anywhere between a 65mm and 75mm TB (I think they also have 80mm units, but I wouldn't expect them to go as cheap).

Oh...and quit whinin'! tongue.gif

Well thats great and all but 65mm or higher wont be good for N/A. Also even the AirRam has to be port matched to a 70mm TB so there is absolutly no way a 75mm TB would fit right.
