SCAM SCAM SCAM! Don't waste your money, dude. It looks like it might be good for pounding meat or clobbering a violent drunk guy, but not for your car. Don't buy it and don't put it in your intake. If it really worked, Honda woulda put one in there for ya.

a quote fromm the description...
This Product design has proven to give your car up to 15% more horsepower at certain RPM pointsas well as increase fuel effeciency by up to 30%. Personally when i installed one on my vehicle, I felt a noticeable increase in low end power and I saw a 25% increase in gas mileage (20mpg up to 25mpg). With Gas being so expensive, this could pay for itself in no time with gas savings alone.
hahahha lolz

"vortex" is just a piece of sheet metal

a buddy of mine who a engineer had the tornado tested on a flowbench and had a car dyno and the results were bull. he told me it may help your car run more efficient thus saving a little bit of gas but nothing noticable, and the only way its going to help you gain horsepower is if it added mass amount of air which it doesnt so again its bs

but ya know what the saying is. There's a sucker born every minute. Or....a fool and his money are soon parted.....
I know! We should take some coke cans and some metal cutting scissors or something and cut em up and make these things! I'll bet we can sell these to some dumb *** ricers and make a killing! APC said it would be a good idea.

Re:
In all seriousness, I wouldn't even bother looking at anything similiar to that of the tornado fuel saver. Speaking from experience, I was coaxed into buying one a long time ago when it first came out and thought I'd at least try it out. For the first two weeks after installing the TFS, it felt like my car had a TINY bit of "pep" added to it. It did seem like i saved about 5 more miles per gallon. But.....after about the 3rd week, my car felt like it was bogging itself down. The acceleration rate decreased by a noticeable amount and well...as if driving an LS Auto wasn't bad enough ( at the time ), shoot....I might as well have removed two cylinders, dropped the compression to...oooh...7 to 1 and drove it like that! Yes...it felt that shitty. Oddly enough, then I started LOSING miles per gallon ( had about 25 plus before install....about 27-30 a week after install....then like 22-24 after the 3rd week ) even under normal driving ( meaning...following the speed limit, trying to coast when not needed to ride the brakes or be on the gas pedal). So to test my theory of this being a total piece of ****, after driving around for a month and a half with that piece of horse **** installed, I removed that damned piece o ****......and guess what? My car was alive again! AND I GOT MY DAMNED NORMAL MILES PER GALLON RATE BACK!!!! Then...some dumbass ricer bought it from me despite me advising otherwise. Since then I've seen about 2 more similar products show up ( the ebay linked one being the 3rd ), and I kinda chuckle thinking how many more people have to get scammed before they realize....its a total piece of ****.
