Do any of you guys know if the tornado realy works?

Tornado(they have the commercial on tv, little metal thing that you stick in your air intake tube suppost to increase air flow to the engine and add hp. Now i see they have it in JC Whitney too.)


Does anyone out there know if this thing realy works or is it a piece of junk.


Thanks confused.gif

i bought it a while back, i noticed a slight increase in acceleration, but not worth what i payed for it. it does save me a couple of bucks a tank tho.....wierd....but don't expect the 10-12 HP increase like it says tongue.gif

oh and another thing, the size that it recommends does not fit w/o some modification. its best to get 1 size smaller. i fit mine right in front of the throttle body, cuz i mean the thing is supposed to swirl the air so that it goes in easier, right? well whats the point if u put it on the other end where the filter is, the air will go straight, but then get all mixed up as it goes through the intake tube, which is nowhere near straight. rolleyes.gif

hope this helps....i posted this question bout a year ago on celica.net and all everyone did was flame me. thing was, NOBODY actually bought it, they just opened their mouth and spoke whatever crap came out. ya gotta have experience before u have wisdom...... smile.gif
