stupidest thing I have ever seen but the I don't know very much about it that why I came here to confirm?

it wont do anything for power or mileage

A non-moving part........ doesn't constitute a supercharger.

You will go faster (but only if you pay in quarters) all that weight in your console is worth 2 tenths in the 1/8th!!!!!

Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
bullet

0 to 35 increase in horsepower,
bullet

0 to 31% increase in fuel economy.

your going to be at the 0 end of both those scales. everybody will be....

I have always read and heard that fuel injected engines like smooth stable air. The site doesn't lie,they do say "0 to 31" increase. Thats like those adds for parts that say "up to" before they give the power increase.

I don't understand how someone could advertise something that does absolutely nothing.

 

[mn_smokeater]

someone somewhere will always buy the stuff like this for who knows how many reasons

Actually, the decals for only $5 will provide more improvement than the product itself. Plus, much easier to install. I recommend just going with the decal.

How is it going to keep the vortex once the throttle body splits into 4 different runners? On a TBI or carbed engine, I can see some improvement. But not a port injected EFI engine.

Wasn't there another product where you put in the air filter intake. I think it was called the "Tornado".

LearjetMinako it was the tornado. completely pointless I think. Oh did anyone see the exhaust tips to match. They claim the same vortex design for exhaust decreases backpressure.

As PT Barnham once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

People will advertise and try to sell these sorts of worthless gadgets so that the ignorant will buy them and be tricked into thinking that they got a great deal on something good.

What about the suck-o-nator and turbo-nator. I could build me a suck-o-nator really easy. Just attach a vaccum cleaner to the exhuast pipe and turn it on.

As lil_blue_ford put it, "There's a sucker born every minute."

I agree with the basic BUT... lets look at it.

It spirals the fuel, it does atomize the air/fuel better thus making a better mixture and a better boom, so more power.

Also, the spiral does create draw and it should add a bigger charge to the cylinders, so in turn a bigger boom x2.

In theory it should do something, how much is ????

I wouldn't do it, a larger mouth on the air intake, larger breather and if EFI air delivery tube w/ larger air sensor, larger injectors..

Oh ya and while we are at it, lets take the heater blower motor and make our own Air Push-a-lot...

It does NOT spiral the fuel, it only sprials air. The fuel doesn't mix with the air until the air reaches the fuel injector, which is right behind the intake valve. As someone mentioned earlier, the "vortex" gets all broken up when the air hits the intake manifold and goes down the individual runners before it reaches the fuel injectors.
