I found a cheaper solution; you cover a third of the air intake with duct tape...

I want to know how many people actually have it installed.
It seems that everyone just thinks it is crap.
I have it on my car because my dad got it. It's not a significant amount of power nor mileage but it doesn't take away from the car.
I've also had it installed on my 92 Celica. Again doesn't take away but doesn't give a whole lot either.
Overall I don't think it is worth it to get it. It's too expensive for something that gives 1-2mpg and probably .25 hp.
My 2 cents. And yes I have tested out the mpg thing it is fairly negligble but it does gain.

Yea it makes my car fly..
Seriously, I'm not trying to sell this thing because it is in fact a POS. Not worth the money. But I must say it doesn't effect the car negatively.
EDIT: Late the flaming begin...

Well at least someone has first hand knowlege about it so I applaud that. Too many people are too quick to jump to conclusions without ever actually trying it.

Peace,
