hmm, i'm skeptical. But if you've got 16$ sitting around, give it a try and let us know

I would rather put the money towards gas that your going to burn anyway. The theroy behind that is that it will make the air being sucked into the intake swerl around like a tornado making the cumbustion better, It will put a spin on the air but that far away from the runners it wont do a darn thing. Its a waste of money, the air will be spinning right into the manifold and then mash up agenst the runners and get disorginized, also that spinning/swerling motion dosent do enough to get a good gain. 16% of 200hp is 32hp, what mod on the market besides a cam/head/hedder/tune combo will offer that much hp. If it really worked they would be everywhere.

Yeah can't blame E-Bay for the idiots of the world... Remember there was a kid that once tried to sell Alaska on E-Bay. Then there was the lady that got I think 15K for her name...
