Save your money. If you do a search here you will find some studies done which show the thing is worthless. About as worthless as the propellor thingie you put in the exhaust tips.

Those propellors make deep water crossings a breeze.

I wish someone would pop for one of these so we could get an opinion from someone who's used one for a few months so I vote for gillettij buying it and telling us all what differences he finds (if any). Maybe we could all send him a buck so he can try it.

If it is one of those "air swirling" miracle systems, it is worth nothing. Any additional swirl or supposed velocity created by these would be lost and broken up the instant the air column contacted the throttle body. Besides, even if you were to cause the air to spiral towards your intake, past the throttle body, it would never be enough to cause your motor to ingest more air than it can on it's own, which would be how you would make more power. In short, save your $$$. If you want more air in, get an actual rotating "fan" type system run off the accessory drive belt, made by someone like, say, Vortec, or Paxton.
