you need some decals (+20hp/each), a coffee can exhaust (+150hp), and some NAAAAWWWWWSSSSS (+1 bajillion hp) to complete your car.

seriously tho, it doesnt work much at all.

Eats the battery. I was going to try one of these when I was at altitude and good air was hard to come by (Mexico City), but at sea level, I see no reason to even click on the page. Already, my own ram air system is providing a healthy dose of power.

Wont work. Not only it wont work, it will actually rob some power by restricting airflow.

Tons of people think it'll create boost, but it doesn't. It will simply help move air into the system at low speeds (simulates airflow at high speeds, sort of--- and it'll only work if it's in a car with VERY poor breathing). At highway speeds, as mentioned above, it'll be a restriction in the system.

Adding a conical filter intake would be an easier way to do it =P
