Ya, I saw that on tv one day a couple a weeks ago while flipping through the channels to get to the niners game. There was a post about it in the aftermarket review board about that time, most people said it was garbage, but someone who actually had said he liked it.

Wish,

Don't even THINK of putting this in front of a MAF sensor, then tell me you're removing the screens for "better flow". If this were a sound principle, you'd have seen it years ago (come to think of it, I think I have...).

This ranks right up there with magnets around the fuel lines to "align the fuel molecues" for better flow - Box 'O Rocks would LOVE to add this to his Pooterball setup...

Later,

Think of how much flow you could get if you staggered a airfoil-tornado-airfoil-tornado-airfoil-tornado...

I'm thinking for about 200 bux, you'd be running like a Paxton
