I doubt it also but does anyone have any experience. For $16 you almost can't go wrong if it doesn't work.

That's how the scam works. What's $16 compared to the 500 people that feel that way, and order one?
Doesn't look very difficult to manufacture does it?
Look away......

If you're dumb enough to buy it, he's smart enough to sell it.

He only selling one of them. Since we need two we shouldn't we get a 62% increase in mpg and a 32% increase in horsepower?

I'm going to cut up a soup can and make one myself.

I too thought it was bull*****, but asked the members just to be sure. The conclusion came that it is a piece of trash. (Check SL R129 forums and performance upgrade forums.)

Peace

The Velocity Tuner swirls the air in the intake tube much like a tornado. As a result, this allows the air to move faster and more effectively around corners and bends. Think of it this way: when you drain a bathtub, a whirlpool is created because it’s the fastest way for the water to go down the drain. The
concept is the same.
Whirlpools are created because its the fastest way for the water to go down a drain? I think not.

I should sell my bags of ice on ebay and title them Turbo ice or something. Replace these in place of your air filters and you will get mad tyte cold air!!

I looked at his feedback and there are several people that bought this and actually claim that it works. LOL.

OH, NO , Not again!!!!!!

I still can not understand why the makers of this "snake oil" think that air, twisted, "turbulated" and "tornaded" suppose to make more power.

It does not work.

A number of years ago a maker of a similar device came to the shop and paid us to run it on several cars. Results were either a small loss or no gains of any kind. He than asked us to fudge numbers for a small fee. He was "politely" escorted out.

What a beautifully engineered, precision machined piece of equipment!

Looks like a failed school project: "One-way chastity device for an elephant...
just imagine what it will do to the poor elephant-the same as every sucker who buys it!

This product had a booth at the SEMA show back in November. Kinda makes it seem to have an air of legitamacy about it... Someone try it and let us know.
