sorry if this is a repost

 

Ihave heard both comments on this subject, but all in all I think it works. I dont have it but some freinds do. I think the power that they say it gets is bull though

 

ok cool... any other opinons?

 

dont waiste your money, it doesnt work..

 

it does work on the itermediate pipes....but when this swirling wind hits the intake manifold and has to split into 4. its usefulness is gone...can not keep the same swirling for all four intake runners...

save a few more dollars for an intake...same results, better look.

 

If it worked, Toyota would've designed one into the car.

Snakeoil hardware.

 

alright then... the votes have been placed and it looks liek a negatory... thanks for hte input guys!

 

see on their website that it has a 30 day money back guarantee if not satisfied---why not try it yourself and see / feel it in your vehicle's engine-- i'd say 90% of the responders bad mouth the products like this but have never had it installed themselves or have real-time experience with the product...

buyit for the gas mileage improvement instead and think of the power increase as additional unexpected benefits...

flame suit is on!

 

that is a grreat idea... but i dunno if i really wanna go though all that effort fo rsomthing tht may just end up gettng returned... i was just looking for htings for my christmas list and was wondering if anyone had an opions on it... but thanks much anyways man!

 

Maybe I'm a skeptic, but after 30+ years of seeing this kind of marketing technique, I see two things here: 1) the cost of the part and shipping is more than covered by the $10 S&H. 2) If you do manage to remember to remove it and return it in time, they'll still make an extra $10 bucks off of it. Whether it works or not is irrelevant to their business model. They could probably get a 100% return rate and still turn a profit. Maybe even make more that way since they can just repackage the device and ship it out again.

Look at what it is supposed to do and then follow the path from it into your engine. If there was a straight shot , maybe it might help, but you're going through the throttle plate, the intake manifold that then splits into 4 channels and then past the small opening that the 2 valves make as they lower. Do you really think that air is still going to be creating this vortex effect?
