Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that the Tornado doesn't add any performance nor make you mpg higher. My brother has it on his Excursion and he said he doesn't feel any difference nor receive better mpg. IMHO, it's a waste of $79...

As fer intakes, I would go fer AEM since they have a good rep on intakes.

I have personally used the tornado in a 2.0 liter nissan motor. It has given me an average 3mpg increase and I tried this couple times on a full tank till empty to see if it was for reals. I live 10mins from Tornado and I knwo the owner and their stuff is good. It was tested on consumer reports and Channel 7 ABC. Many people are skeptic like I was in teh beggining but after dyno testing, it shows and increase in HP and MPG. By the way if your not satisfied with the product you can return it. Money back guarantee... Now that's a win win situation.

From what I have read, It seems to me the most noticeable gains come from the Injen intake. But the AEM is close. I would think the combination of an intake/H/E would be the most important thing to think about. You need to find out what combinations work the best.

Your better off getting comptech, injen, or AEM

I personally like the injen CAI. Aem you have to move the washer fluid which can be a real pain in the ***.


Tornado = CRAP

It doesn't seem right to have something in your intake tract that has metal moving parts that could come apart and then make their way into your engine...Come on man...Get a real intake.
