dunno it just clips on and i doubt its that but it could be

if it was how would it work, it looks like it pinches the hose

fuel injectors and throttle bodys atomize fuel just fine thats what there made to do

i dont see how clamping some b.s. on a hose does anything productive.

some one has to know what it is

Its a flux capaciter, it keeps your muffler bearings running cool and smooth, dyno's better than any turbo set up i've seen. I swear!

a real expensive scam from the land of jdm- i saw it for 120+

thats alot for a magnetic clip that is supposed to help with fuel atomization (total B.S. if theres magnetic material in fuel that bad you shouldent buy that kind of gas!)


proving once again jdm freaks will buy anything that says "jdm" no matter how lame it is
"but its show points" is what im told, freakin lame!


and no, its not a flux cap. i already have two and a set of left handed Nixon nuts for more torqe

any magazine ever do a product test on crap like this?

just cause it looks pretty dosent mean its worth it, to each his own i guess

how do i get into debunking products and writeing my findings in these import mags that Wh0r3 products to naive people that will buy any thing (the guy told me it would boost my mpg! - the key prob. you listend to THAT GUY WHOSE LOOKING TO EMPTY YOUR WALLET!) sorry i see this on a daily basis dam trendy so-cal!

product maker names mean nada, only numbers do!
