would that be a negative affect? i havent heard anything good about those, honestly, they are a waste of money, and they dont help at all, any air that they could circulate would already lose the gains by the time it reaches the throttle body.

well dont give your opinion until you have 1st hand knowledge. I had it and i did notice a difference. And it wasnt because i was expecting a difference either because i got it for christmas and i had heard about them before that people didnt think they worked. THEY DO

for some reason i refuse to believe that a little metal insert helps anything, now if it would actually circulate air, i might not say anything about it, but it doesnt work at all, its like what seth said, the placebo effect.

where's your before/after dyno slip? hmm?

They don't work, it's been proven. It's a flipping coke can sliced up and put in your intake pipe. Does nothing but cause turbulence and slow down flow.

you got to admit though they took a lot of money and time to put into that stupid infomercial especially the little asian guy and how he shows you the old swirly water funnel with food die technique that right there would tell me why the hell would they demonstrate this with water and not an actual performance dyno

i dont know, i find it a waste of money. some people told me that it saves on gas . but power wise, i dont think so it will make a difference. i would though, like to test it out and see what it does and base it on my experience.

People I know who have put them in claim higher gas mileage too. They usually travel on the highway then so are getting better mileage because they were doing more highway.
That and because they installed the thing they are paying closer attention to their actual mileage and think it's gone up for no reason other than they are paying attention to it.
