Stock intake/throttle cleaning.

Hey Guys,

So I went ahead and removed the air filter section, the box underneath in which the filter sits. It was so dirty, I sprayed some cleaner on the box and washed it and let it dry. I also removed my plastic cover (4screws) that sits on the engine and removed the intake boot to the throttle body. As i suspected it was a bit dark around the butterfly (dirty) so I spray a throttle body cleaner on a rag and whiped it down. I slowly opened the butterfly and cleaned as much with the rag inside. Put everything back on and took it for a drive.... holy it was sooo smooth on the throttle, you just touch the gas pedal and the thing just moved. I put in in M mode and using the gear this thing screamed in a nice smooth/clean way, feels like I help the breathing.

Anyone else ever do such a cleaning?
