I doubt it.. On some cars throttle body spacers can show some performance gains but I doubt it will do anything on a Honda..
Prove me wrong if you can because I dont know much about them

If it improves fuel economy and horsepower, Honda would have done it.

Re: is this legit? (hadehatch)
heheh. one time I was at my rich friends house, drunk and on a number of drugs,
the informercial came on for the Tornado, and my friend was already on
the phone to buy it for his 2003 Denali. I talked him out of it just in time...
but he would have bought it for $80 if I wasn't there.
I'll say the only people who buy it don't know **** about motors, or have way too much spending money (both, in my friends case).

supposibly it makes the air fuel mixture better by spinning the air.

I don't know a whole lot about the TB Spacers. I know my buddy put one on his focus, and it did jack ****, and he paid $100 for it. My other friend also put one on his Silverado, it makes a whistling sound, don't know how much of a performance difference it makes though, if any. All I know is, I wouldn't buy one for my car.
