Any body seen the info-commercial about that stainless steel gizmo ya put in the air inlet duct or on top of the air filter base?
It is called a tornado or cyclone.
"INCREASE YOUR MPG ADD UP TO 20 HP INSTANTLY!" What a crock. How can they make claims like that?

They use them on throttle bodies for the LT-1 engines because it smoothes the airflow comming into the throttle body because the way its shapped causes some SERIOUS turbulence

It is bull-$hit.
They also have spiralmax... same damn thing as the tornado.
They don't work.

Yep I would say its a crock. I think the Fiero wing works alot better then that thing. And most people say the wing is looks only. Yeah right.

I wish there was one that'd make my intake sing Don't care about the theoretical gains... I'd buy THAT for a dollar!

Mach10-HOLY CRAP!! I thought my buddy Nick and I were the only ones who said that, let alone same context!!!

EX- '93 Civic Hatchback with fart can drives by-"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

We say that. Doesn't everyone? Thought it was from Smash-TV or something?

LOL this came up on the forum before. I said it was from RoboCop, someone else said it was from some other movie. I know for sure its in RoboCop, its when those bad guys are blowing up the city, and robocop shows up, some used car salesman is in a store window (on TV) saying "I'd buy that for a dollar". Classic....

Knowing she'd beat me out of it.

What happens if you combine the tornado with the exhaust tip with the door from the JC Whitney catalog?

With that thing and a Type R sticker you should be able to do the 1/4 mile in under 10 sec. with iron duke yet.

waste of $...

just tape a kazoo to your intake pipe, it will sound like the whine of a blower, seen this done before among the ricers

I'm partially color-blind, but to me it looks like the baseline has better torque and HP that the tornado.
