throttle cable options?
Are there any other throttle cables made that work for our swaps other than the one hawks sells? Nothing against them or the product but I'd prefer to have a more stock looking one rather than the braided one.

i made mine out of a bicycle brake cable. it looks stockish, works great. the throttle body opens and closes all the way with no issues.

LMAO! I love it seriously it looks great! The thought of what it actualy is is the quirky part. What did u use a premade line or make one to that length?

Re: throttle cable options?
most guides i've read recommend the non traction control 4th gen cable; that's the route i'm going.

Stock 4th gen cable here on both engines. It looks pretty long but its actually just right. Loop it under the corner of the drivers rail and it fits perfectly

4th gen non-TC here, too. I had to remove the 3rd gen accelerator pedal and bend it some more in order to get WOT - simple to do.
