They eat up your battery. I looked at one of these and was going to play around with one to give a more ACCURATE opinion of what they can do, just like I do with other things on my RX, but given the fact I already running quite lean (to the point of P0171 errors) with my ram air intake designs and at high altitude, too, I scrapped this idea. One of the others issues with these devices is that putting them into the intake path is not a good idea. Ideally, they should shoot air at angle into the intake tube, not sit in the intake path and wait for WOT (wide open throttle) to let one of these things do its thing. If you take the time to construct a proper ram air intake you should get the effect you are looking for. However, a good exhaust should be the first step.
