A stupid waste of money  It's designed to spin the air in the intake ... If you really want to try one there are plans on the internet to cut them out of tin/alminum ... car and driver/road and track have all dyno tested them with dismal results |

There is a difference when you use one though...as redstar said...it takes up space..if it actually DOES what it supposedly does "spin the air" that is...that just makes the air take a loooooooonger path to the cylinders giving it more time to heat up causing less dense air. the fact that it would spin off the inside of the plenum and all would mean its absorbing more heat...of course this "spin" wouldnt last past the tb...

which is the exact opposite of what they claim them to do… lol it's like someone posted on here b4 in regards to this topic. you're basically putting a cut up coke can in your intake. |
