Turbonator Upgrade

Now, I am usually the one to automatically call a "questionable" modification as a bull$**** product with good advertising, but this part actually appears to be so simple it has to work. Two laser cut metal intake inserts which spiral the air into the combustion chamber. Has anyone ever tried it? Has anyone ever heard of any damage or problems it caused? Positive or negative feedback, please guys, your input would be very helpful.

Thank you.

Waste of time, don't get it. It won't do anything to your car.

Hmmm...according to what the rep I spoke to said, they only come in one size which can be adjusted to fit "snug" (as she put it) in the intake hose following the air filter.

It's a scam. You're smart to use your head and question things, and if in doubt, ask about it on a forum. Avoid it like the plague.

C43AMG, I couldn't help but notice the Racer X Avitar. Brings back some early childhood memories of living in Brooklyn and watching that show every Saturday.
