A quick search turned up nothing of any relevance.

Does anyone have this thing? I've heard of similar products and I just came across this in my JCWhitney catalogue. I just wanted to know if anyone has one on their Civic; I would like an opinion from someone not trying to sell it to me.

This thing looks like a long cylinder and looks like it would need piping from the CAI.

I saw an infomercial on something similar awhile back, called the Cyclone I think, was the same exact thing just the cylinder was 1/2" tall and they advertised that you put it in the plastic bendable connection between the airbox and the OEM plastic air intake tube.

Here is the scan. Sorry it's in .gif and loses a lot of the quality that I scanned it with (.TIF format, 1600dpi).

I scanned the whole article originally, 650kb. 56k no likes. This was 60kb.

The current Consumer Reports tested this little device along with 2 others that were supposed to do the same thing. The verdict? They didn't do squat. Please don't waste your money unless you have money to waste.

Since I didn't show the scan, here's the text from the article. Taken from JCWhitney Catalogue (Main and Sport Compact). In my Sport Compact, page 50...Engine Section...catalogue # 211J-09 if anyone wants to read it themselves.

See it says "or inside air intake hose (electronic fuel-injected cars)" but looking at that pic, I don't think it's going to fit.

Damn. I was hoping for 13 HP for $65. I knew that was too good to be true.

Stupid azzwholes who made this product...I bet they got 13 horsepower out of a single model car and 1/4 more gas mileage out of another. If you read their claims it would not be lying if that was the case, they don't say EVERY car. I hate companies like this... How shady.
