Default Tornado

I saw this infomerical last night and was wondering if anybody here has every tried this thing out.

It is called a Tornado and it goes into your air intake hose and it is suppose to take the air coming in and form it into the shape of a tornado for a more direct and compact air flow. Says to increase HP by 15. Watching the infomercial and reading about it makes total sense and appears as if it would really work. But that is what informercials do... Anybody tried one of these things or have an opinion about them?

I think you'll get a bunch of "It doesn't do anything" "Don't buy it" replies, but I'd like to actually see someone buy one and dyno test or at least g-tech test it.

How much do they cost?

Plenty of discussions on this subject (this is just a few of them). General consensus is that it's BS.
