my girlfriend and i are both owners of 2001 and 2003 honda civic coupes. she saw a commercial on t.v. for a tornado vortex generator that you put in the intake and you save not only gas mileage but you get a gain in horsepower. i was just wondering if anyone has tried it. thanks and get back and let me know what you think. opinions also welcome.

no, that thing doesn't do anything. the concept is reasonable, but it's just a waste of money.
