I think I see your problem. The search function has no spell checker.

SCION OWNERS SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF SEARCH

With the search feature you have to use the booleans... so try vortex AND generator to narrow down results. I havent searched for those exact terms.. but unless you specify the booleans you will get tons of results on all searches... and it does not sort by closest match like others do.

And as for the vortex generator..... I think it is about as useful as the "electric supercharger" Stay away from these things.

I believe that it will only work on your stock air box. i had a similar gimmick “ http://www.tornadoair.com/ “ on before, it only saved me gas but im not sure if it gave me any power. it WILL NOT work with any CAI cel will go off.

If you look at the feedback on the seller, there is a bunch that say wow it works! Do you think they are paid to do that? lol maybe it does work?

If you're going to spend the money, get the Flux Capacitor:
