Hm I just searched and it seems like the size is between 62-64.5mm. So you would at most be gaining 8ish mm? Honestly on an NA I don't see this doing anything. You are better off doing the normal intake test pipe and exhaust and getting Emanage or some other tuning than spending your money on this. Also OBX makes junk parts I wouldn't put anything from them on my car.

If you want a bigger throttle body I'd go for a Ballade Sports TB for $100 less than a junk OBX.

^ agree. I have Ballade Sports 70mm throttle body. You will need a tune for it to maximize your gain.
