Is that spiralmax stuff true???

yeap, the advertisemente that is flashing right now in front of you. A "miracleous" and cheap turbo, from what they say... (www.spyralmax.com)

its true???

really it works???, or its just like the fuel optymizer (that gives you 30% less of gas consume), the "Xenon-simil" lights (40% + of visibility during night) and other jokes....?

thanks...

pd: well, those things in the tail pipe looks great... but too expensive...!

It's extremely unlikely. I won't actually label something snake oil unless I can prove it, but consider the following:
  • This device cannot increase air pressure
  • Fuel atomization takes place at the valves and in the combustion chamber, not at the intake
  • 35 horsepower is a lot for any external modification (exluding turbo/supercharging); 31% mileage increase is equally dubious
  • If it really worked, we'd all have them by now (the site's copyright says 1994)

It looks to me like this is just another device that's supposed to look like it emulates vortech heads. There is a very similar device called the Tornado that has fooled a lot of people as well.

BTW, those exhaust things do look cool, but I'll bet they're just expensive rice gear.

I don't even have to look at it to state that it doesn't work.
