I'm going to assume that this is serious...

The technical concept is somewhat valid however in practice it restricts flow more than it adds with it's "turbulence". In short I would highly recommend NOT putting this in your intake tract. In addition to it not working, the crappy material will likely disintegrate and find it's way into your engine at some point.

It's a hole-saw for a drill isn't it???
:D :D :D

It must drill straight through the rotors so air can get to it directly...

Or some funny **** to that respect.

wow, that whole ad just sounded shady.

"Please work any problems out with me before resorting to negative feedback"

Its almost as if they are expecting negative feedback.

It was kinda serious, mostly a "You gotta be kidding me" post.

Thanks, now close the thread...

Must be a hell of a Vortex it creates to still be "vortexing" after the throttle blade.

OK, I'm laughing too, but honest to God a year or two ago someone on this forum tried a "Tornado" and posted dyno results clearly showing more power. I've looked and can't find that post any more, but it was a long thread and a lot of people commented on it (and doubted it). Seems dubious to me, but anything's possible, I guess.
