B.S.
If you ever read the artical for the new Generation Ford Probe.. the reason why the intake did not make power was they had something shaped like the Tornado. All the Tornado surppose to do it swirl the air coming through, making a ram effect.. They don't do that.. the little fan they have don't spin that fast and the quality fit sucks. Most of the time the thing falls sideways. I've spoken to people who have this thing, and is 100000% a waste to thier oppinion. Most peope said it hurt there HP because it makes it more restrictive. The claim they are making is that the turbine makes a tornado effect that surpose to creat a swire motion that helps it move faster, but when you think about it. When the air reaches the throttle body and so fort, it will be disturbed when it goes throught the chambers. This is not worth it, IMO.

I could have sworn that was you in the video selling that bull*****! Well, I guess you just have one of those faces! LOL

Wouldn't it look cool if we could put them in the mufflers?

Damn it DevilDog! You're suppose to keep that **** under wraps! I was going to "prove" that didn't work by "buying" one and they post miracleous results! Well, to say the LEAST, you're not getting your 15% cut!



I would be MUCH cooler if the frickin' thing worked!
