Re: What the hell is this?

seems like all it does is restrict, IDK how in the heck blocking up your air box (or wherever it goes) is actually ssupposed to improve fuel economy

ive heard of those. its based on the flawed concept that creating a vortex in your air intake will give better consistency throught the air supply. even if that really made a difference (which i highly doubt), it seems like it would add enough drag to cancel out any benefit it gives. im not about to do any research on a peice of crappy aluminum to prove anything though, lol.

if anyone really wanted to try something like that out i bet you could make one out of a pop can though :P

Re: What the hell is this?

Yeah, the only way I could even see this being an imporvment is if you had a throttle body injected car and it sat inside the air filter right before the throtle body, because it would mix the air and fuel better....but on a modern FI car? I think not.

Re: What the hell is this?

And if it actually did that, you'd think they would sell for a lot more than $16.95.
