Many customers have had even better results than these. With Gas being so expensive, this product could pay for itself in no time with gas savings.

Studies have shown stationary vortex generators greatly increase an engines airflow and fuel atomization for more horsepower (up to 20%) and better fuel efficiency (up to 35% increase). The idea is simple, spiraling air moves with greater velocity and efficiency through a cars intake tract. More air=More power, its that simple. Additionally the spiraling air atomizes the fuel better allowing for more complete combustion. Your cars computer reads the changes and compensates by eliminating excess fuel delivery, resulting in better fuel efficiency. Also, believe it or not, vehicles with Auto Trans will shift smoother than ever

Sure you have seen similar products on TV or in your local auto store for an outrageous $79 or more. And the truth is they work too, but why pay more than 2 times as much for the same results. Our product is Precision LASER CUT from Stainless Steel, is ultra high quality and will outlast your car!!! This item is NOT Hand cut or Home made! You can keep the same one and use it for the rest of your cars life. You get a 30 day money back guarantee!!! Send it back within 30 days from when YOU get it IN YOUR HANDS, and we will refund your money (minus S&H), no questions asked. PLUS LIFETIME REPLACEMENT WARRANTY (READ BELOW)

Installation is easy, you simply place it in your air intake tube in between the Air Filter and the Throttle Body. Usually installation only takes a few minutes and a screwdriver or ratchet to complete. Comes with Detailed General Installation Instructions.

Default JUNK. The butterfly valve on the throttle body will kill any vortex

and if you're lucky this thing won't break apart and ruin your engine with bits of plastic/metal.

Default Great thing. I swear by them. After all, if you look at the inlet tract....

it is easy to see how air in a vortex can cope with passing through bends, throttle flaps, turbos chargers, intercoolers etc....and still stay moving in a vortex, isn't it?

It's funny, back in the days when I used to try to extract every last bit of power of engines, I used to put chamfers on the edge of the throttle flaps, smooth out the flaps screws, re-profile the valve stems, hand cut gaskets to suit the ports etc.....in fact anything to REMOVE any turbulence of obstruction in the airflow becasue I knew it would result in a loss of airflow into the cylinder. But here we have the exact opposite obstructs and creates turbulence and is claimed toimprove economy and power - bollocks.

I guess they work a bit like a Dyson in reverse?

"Comes with Detailed General Installation Instructions" - I like that bit, how can they be both detailed and general?

Default Great idea to have Mythbusters test ....

Would love to see the guys on Mythbusters test these items out. My wife's boss is always butting heads with me about how one of these has made his truck that much more powerful and has increased his MPG.
