Go buy it and immediately race a nitroused out viper. I guarantee you you will see results.

But they won't be in your favor! hahahahaha ok...all joking aside....don't waste your money. From experience, they seem to work with domestic V8s. But with our import 4 bangers....ehh....you're better off spending the money on an intake system than those pieces of ****.

yep! I had one...and from personal experience again...

1: first day - felt like it added a lil torque ( emphasis on FELT LIKE ) as it accelerated a little smoother

2: end of first week - car felt like it was going back to normal ( ECU probably adjusted to it or something )

3: end of second week - car was boggin like I was towing a ship anchor

4: took it off and car love me long time!!! I sold the POS to some ricer......

You get what you pay for.

If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

iT aDDeD maD vTaK to my caR yO! geT thaT shI! aDD liKe FiFtY hP! maD jAyDeeAm yO! it's not a super or turbo charger for sure, but hey a company does make these already added to their intakes as a complete package. $59.95 is a bit much, I can make a ball bearing one that spins to 24k for that price. =D

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that they don't spin, they sit still, and the air hits it and creates a vortex.
