46-34017B: The current exact product page reaches 2026, whereas the linked exact manual ends at 2024. The carried Stingray row is extended within the current C8 6.2L model/engine scope; it is not full certification of every roof/body configuration or named trim. The factory-intake manual illustrates rear-trunk/removable-roof-latch access; do not invent convertible-specific access instructions from those illustrations. No Z06, ZR1, E-Ray/hybrid or other engine application is newly inferred.

| Engine / application | See exact engine-specific fitment table and source qualifications |
| Sealing arrangement | Fully seat the supplied O-ring in the spacer groove and retain the original manifold O-ring. The unengraved spacer face goes against the manifold and TOP faces upward. |
| Throttle-body fastening | The exact manual supplies no numeric torque for either joint. The four supplied M6 x 1.0 x 30mm screws attach spacer to manifold; reuse the four factory screws for throttle body to spacer. Obtain the applicable manufacturer/factory tightening requirements. |
| Emissions scope | The manufacturer states this product is not CARB exempt and is unavailable for purchase in California or use on vehicles registered with the California DMV. |
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
A model- and engine-specific Silver Bullet throttle-body spacer, not a complete intake or replacement throttle body.
Does it include a filter or coupling?Yes. This factory-intake kit includes coupling 05-01571, a 90-degree quick-disconnect fitting, spring clamp and two size clamps. No air filter or complete intake is listed.
Are gains guaranteed?No. Turbulence, throttle-response and whistle statements are manufacturer design claims, not guaranteed horsepower, fuel-economy or sound results for the actual engine.
Which sealing parts are used?Fully seat the supplied O-ring in the spacer groove and retain the original manifold O-ring. The unengraved spacer face goes against the manifold and TOP faces upward.
What is the correct torque?The exact manual supplies no numeric torque for either joint. The four supplied M6 x 1.0 x 30mm screws attach spacer to manifold; reuse the four factory screws for throttle body to spacer. Obtain the applicable manufacturer/factory tightening requirements.
Are all original search rows certified?The current exact product page reaches 2026, whereas the linked exact manual ends at 2024. The carried Stingray row is extended within the current C8 6.2L model/engine scope; it is not full certification of every roof/body configuration or named trim. The factory-intake manual illustrates rear-trunk/removable-roof-latch access; do not invent convertible-specific access instructions from those illustrations. No Z06, ZR1, E-Ray/hybrid or other engine application is newly inferred.
Can another spacer’s instructions be substituted?No. Gaskets, O-rings, brackets, screw sizes, control cables and intake restrictions differ by exact part number.
Does the EO reference cover every application?The manufacturer states this product is not CARB exempt and is unavailable for purchase in California or use on vehicles registered with the California DMV.
46-34017B: installation details and any unresolved source scope must be matched to the actual vehicle before use.

CORSA packages have their own factory NPP and AFM requirements. AWE Touring and Track references offer separate sound configurations; for the supported C8 suite, Touring uses AWE’s drone-control approach while Track is the more direct sound choice.

Choose throttle hardware and pedal-response electronics by the job they perform. Compare complete throttle bodies, manifold adapters, spacers and electronic controllers for the engine and control system installed. The selection includes BBK, FAST, Granatelli, aFe, BLOX, APR, Dinan, Banks and other application-specific references.Throttle Bodies and Control LayoutElectronic bodies need compatible wiring, pedal and engine-management support, while cable bodies require the correct linkage, idle-control and sensor arrangement. Match the complete application rather than assuming every throttle body for an engine family uses the same control method.Compare bore layout, manifold pattern and inlet connection with the actual intake system. A larger opening alone does not establish more power; airflow needs, control compatibility and the rest of the engine combination matter.Spacers, Adapters and Intake ConnectionsA spacer adds a defined section between compatible components. An adapter chang...

Shop aFe Silver Bullet, Airaid PowerAid, Torque Solution, do88, COBB, GReddy and other listed references. Match the actual throttle body, manifold and intake arrangement before choosing the spacer or connection component.Application-Specific SpacersA spacer installs at the specified throttle/manifold interface. Compare bore shape, bolt pattern, thickness and the seals or hardware included. Some references require a particular aftermarket intake rather than every intake on the same vehicle.Check hood and engine-bay clearance, intake-tube position and any linkage or wiring reach after adding thickness. Product-specific design data is more useful than a universal horsepower or fuel-economy claim.Adapters and CouplersTorque Solution Subaru references distinguish specific manifold and throttle-body combinations, including named DBC-to-DBW-manifold arrangements. A mechanical adapter does...
