I'll spare you... it's a complete ripoff.. those fans are used for air ventillation in yachts and such.. they only actually transfer acout 100cfm of air...it would be more of a restriction than a gain

It adds about as much power as VTEC stickers, just costs a lot more. I hope that answers it.

I agree with you. I bet the weight of the fans do slow the car down, if not the air restrictions.
