It is like PTFE engine treatments. Worthless. If the factory could add Hp for the cost of a cheese grater, don't you think they would do it?

On a MB it is pointless, it is already built into the intake manifold on our cars. Well, rather a manifold/throttle body design that does the same thing.

I have it on my Expedition and it helps on mileage there.

I never bother to put on my c320 because like the otehrs have said it would not help because of the design of the throttle body desing on these machines.

I've never nessesarily bought into the whole concept of this. I put it on my first car back in the day and it did really nothing, or at least the butt dyno said so.

i think, you have a better performance by adding a fan module inside your intake air tube than the tornado. At least you can force more air with a fan than adding more drag to disturb the airflow being channeled into the throtle body.
