Tornado Fuel Saver - Increase Horsepower? Anyone Have It? I Might Get It

I saw this on TV.

http://myauto.tv/order/engine.php?pa...=CIVIC&tmonly=


Does anyone have it yet?

Is this an alternative for an intake?

More power, less noise?

This tornado thing doesn't work well on Honda civics..maybe for Trucks but not for our cars...tornadoes are probably better for cars with carbeurators...remember: our cars are fuel injected vehicles...these things won't work with our cars....DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY On it...!

Even if I did work good on our cars. It would be cheaper and more productive to just throw on a 120mm Vantec Tornado. Yeah, it's a CPU fan, but it'll probably move more air than that peice of junk . .

Don't get it unless you have a carborated engine. We actually tested that in our Shop class, and we gained HP on Carborated engines but loss HP on Fuel injected ones. We always made fun of the person saying he put it in upside down. lol. Anyways, actually works on carborated engines, sucks on Fuel injected ones. I think thats why they only show carborated ones on the commercials. But not positive
