335i throttle body?

Has anyone seen this. Is it worth it? Usually helps with NA engines but would it help with the N54?

It works by making a larger air volume before the cylinders. That way each time a cylinder sucks in air, it causes less decompression in the intake.
Less decompression means more regular air flow during each intake stroke.

It's not the kind of thing that will knock you back in your seat. It will simply change the 'feel' of the engine. It should be more powerful afterwards, but it's not low hanging fruit.
