Default Air Deflectors

I've seen a lot of ads for the Air Delectors that fit in the Mav hose,near the throttle body.

Anything to this? Anyone try one?

Thanks

Are you talking about the Airfoil?

It works in theory, but in the real world it's just an expensive paperweight.

Well I thought about getting one but am still making payments on that bridge between Brooklyn & NYC.....

Actually the air foil has been proven to increase air flow "potential" but most engines won't need it so you would see no gain.
