Think about this thing for a second. You're gonna stick metal fins (Which BTW don't exactly look like they are too well attached to the ring in the first place) inside your intake AFTER the air filter. First off the thing blocks necessary airflow to the engine. This "swirling" that it is supposed to cause is basically negated by the bends in the intake. The throttle flap will cancel most of the swirling rather nicely. Second if for some reason (Shoddy welds?) a flap were to break free, there is NOTHING to stop it from heading DIRECTLY into the intake. AND you'll be causing ALOT more blockage if the thing ends up getting jostled, slips, and turns slightly sideways.

All in all DO NOT INSTAL THESE STUPID THINGS!!! THEY ARE POINTLESS AND THE "REVIEWS" ARE A BUNCH OF LIES!

Hahahaha that would be funny as hell. You can also always do it mythbuster style and tell him he can run his engine on gunpowder and it would double his hp.

i can't believe someone would spend 65 bucks on such a retard thing. at my job we sell them for 25 bucks and noone ever buys one, maybe once in a blue moon. and thanx for torching it down that means theres one less useless thing in this world,lol
