If you do a general search on the internet you will see that Consumer Reports tested this thing a while ago, They found no increase in horsepower, but did have a slight increase in fuel consumption. Which means, not only does it not work as promised, but the vehicle uses more fuel with it. The product was also tested by the EPA about three years ago and they were not able to detect any improvement of either fuel economy or horsepower.

Bottom line, save your money.

Talking Re: check this

so you wanna make your car go faster well the simple option is to decat the car so what you do is take off the cat go to a metal works and get them to copy the cat as an empty case ie straight through pipe and fit that to your car but keep your real cat for the M.O.T. so with the decat in place on your car go for a drive you will gain at least 35% more power crisper running and bulls out accelaration enjoy ive done it to my Accent 1.3i and it spanks scoobys off the mark
