Silver Bullet spacer for exact engine and intake requirements
The aFe 46-35002 is a serrated/helix-entry 6061-T6 aluminum spacer for the 2007–2011 Wrangler JK 3.8L gasoline V6. It supplies its own longer bolts and gasket; it is not a 2012+ 3.6L or later JL spacer.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 billet-aluminum serrated/helix entry design; claimed turbulence and reduced whistle do not guarantee an improvement on every setup.
- The engraved side faces the throttle body, with the supplied gasket between spacer and throttle body. The inset side fits into the intake manifold.
- The exact manual specifies 8 ft-lb for the assembly, using the four new 60 mm bolts and flat washers.
- Remove the inlet tube and disconnect/reconnect the throttle-body harness as instructed; this is not a sensor or throttle-controller replacement.
- Claims of turbulence, throttle response and reduced whistle describe the manufacturer’s design intent, not guaranteed power or fuel-economy gains.

46-35002: The exact manual and current page agree on the 2007–2011 JK 3.8L engine. Existing named Wrangler trim rows remain conditional on that actual engine; diesel or later 3.6L coverage is not inferred. Factory-style mounting does not mean the original short bolts are reused.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 46-35002?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?The exact parts list below governs. Generic manufacturer page fields do not establish a supplied intake filter or coupling for this spacer.
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?One supplied gasket between spacer and throttle body; inset portion toward manifold.
What is the correct torque?8 ft-lb for the throttle-body assembly per exact manual.
Are all original search rows certified?The exact manual and current page agree on the 2007–2011 JK 3.8L engine. Existing named Wrangler trim rows remain conditional on that actual engine; diesel or later 3.6L coverage is not inferred. Factory-style mounting does not mean the original short bolts are reused.
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 current page cites D-550-41, and the available 2019 exhibit identifies 2007–2011 Wrangler 3.8L. Match the exact listed engine/application and exemption conditions; the order is not a performance endorsement.
Installation Instructions
- Read the exact manufacturer instructions for 46-35002, verify the actual engine, intake, hardware and applicable emissions scope before removal.
- Loosen and remove the air-inlet tube from the air cleaner and throttle body, and disconnect the throttle-body harness.
- Remove the four original throttle-body bolts. Position the spacer’s inset portion into the manifold, with the engraved side facing the throttle body.
- Place the supplied gasket between spacer and throttle body. Use the four new 6 mm x 60 mm bolts and flat washers and torque the assembly to 8 ft-lb according to the exact manual.
- Reconnect the throttle-body harness, restore the inlet tube and tighten its clamps. Inspect all connections and clearances before use.
46-35002: installation details and any unresolved source scope must be matched to the actual vehicle before use.

Throttle Bodies, Controllers & Spacers
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.

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.
