Default What in the hell?

Can anyone explain this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-U...spagenameZWDVW

I want someone to buy it and tell me what the hell it does...? It looks like someone spent to much time and money on something pointless...

Im just curious on how it increases horsepower like it says... And why in the hell do you need/want a pipe running around it going back into it?

Its not pointless, it acts as a silencer while providing the extra flow.

OBX = ****.

But Mugen also makes one... so it must have a reason : )

but.. if it is acting as a silencer, wouldn't you think it is creating more resistence thus causing less airflow? how often do you see a silencer on a gun make it have more power?

Thats the whole point of the second pipe, sound reduction while still increacing the flow.

its ben proven that the least resistance is achieved by a stright path for air/fluid to travle. Less resistance= more power. I understand that its trying to scilence the car, but thats why regular mufflers have a baffel system. If anything that will just make your car sound retarded and make you lose power if anything.
