no...the discredit came from the practical application (or lack thereof) of said device.

The ONLY thing its does is reduce airflow and introduce turbulence.....less air = less fuel = less power (in most cases)


the tornado still doesnt work from when this was dredge up in 2007....nothing has changed.

How about the fact someone posted a link in the very beginning of the thread showing it's a scam?

They tested the tornado and another similar device-

Both devices reduced peak horsepower by more than 10 percent. The Intake Twister increased fuel consumption by about 20 percent; the TornadoFuelSaver provided no significant change.

Guys, think there is really enough comment here and in other threads going back years and years (I'll include just some of the links below) to give anyone who would like an opinion on this and similar products more than a few of them.
