Default Ported throttle body mod

Does a ported throttle body void the factory warranty? This flat spot at low RPMs is annoying me.. (2016 Z)
​​​

Thanks...

No, it won't. Intakes, PTBs, X-pipes seem to be what most owners do to retain factory warranty.

You can always put the old one back on if you need to.

Get the Solar unit....many people, myself included, have tried others and found the Solar product as being the best on the market.

No. I have had the Mamo on my 17Z for 2 years and love it. There’s a used one in our classifieds here as well. A nice Halltech as well.

I also had the Mamo unit. A nice piece but not the quality of the Solar unit, IMO. The Mamo didn't eliminate the low end bog...the Solar unit did. It is incredible, but suit yourself.

The Mamo worked great on my car.

Probably not fair to say with certainty that it won’t void the warranty. Dealers vary and I have heard of some warranty claims rejected due to aftermarket parts like air intakes, etc.

I’ve had my Mamo ported throttle body for 4 years. Solved the dead pedal problem and has been perfect ever since.

Lots of others have begun offering their own versions over the years, but Mamo is and has been one of the top cylinder head port and manifold designers for over 20 years. Who else better to port your throttle body?

Just my two cents.....

I have used two Mamo ported TB's on my car. He ported the stock TB for my 2016 Z06 almost two years ago. He then ported a 95mm TB for me last year. The original eliminated the flat spot right off idle and both have performed flawlessly. I saw no reason to chase after others. I am now moving up to a new 103 mm TB from Katech so I will probably sell the original ported TB here.
