useless. waste of money

any spiraling air motion created at the TB is eliminated as soon as it enters the plenum and gets sucked into the runners. Also the fuel injectors are at the very end of the runners so this POS device's potential effect on any fuel atomization/efficiency is laughable.

maybe if your prelude had some gay TBI setup or a 4-barrel...

I think its been proven its a waste of time on honda's, but I could be mistaken.

when they say dyno proven...it was likely on a carb motor...not fuel injected.

Here's a good rule of thumb...if it's made by OBX and it's considered a 'performance' product. Run away...they are not a R&D shop they just copy things and sell them.

If anyone was planning to get it, might as well buy a SpiralMax.

Eitherway, I don't believe in them.
