lol, let me assure you of something:

Any product (tornado, spiralmax, etc) that claims to improve your fuel efficiency and/or add power through the use of a piece of plastic or metal you stick in your intake/exhaust is BULL*****.

snake oil cont.

Don't you think if the product actually worked the Auto manufactures would spend the $2 on a piece of metal to put in the intake to get the gains they advertise?

My other favorite bullsh*t product is the sticker you put on your cell phone behind the battery that increases reception "as if you had a 5 foot antenna!"
