These threads can't be started without having some graphs or something. Otherwise ignorant jerks just flame all over the place. There is plenty of room for reasonable debate with the advantages and disadvantages with these, but 80% of this thread will just be bashing. I’ve known guys that swore by these things. The thing is, no real serious tuner, which I know of, has gotten a hold of one of these and really messed with it and shown results yet. If you’re serious enough to go to a dyno and test/tune your car, usually it seems like these are very taboo amongst that crowd. I try to keep an open mind. I haven’t said anything mean for a long time one here, but I’m really getting sick of people flaming on everyone. There are a bunch of members that are just acting like children on here, and they’re going to have a hay-day with this thread.

just spend the $300 that thing cost and invest it for a CAI or SRI, if that thing costs like $20, i'd understand people wanting to do it, but $300?!! just buy a SRI of CAI

And besides that, there are a bunch of the non-functional ones out there that give the rest a bad name. Same thing goes for those big aluminum/carbon fiber wings.
