Those things are just as freakin bad as those intake mod resistors that you get on ebay. What a freakin scam  .

Really!
Please explain how an intake restriction increases airflow.
How does it magically make the engine pull in more air?
Air swirl before the TB has no effect on anything. For that matter air swirl in a dry manifold does nothing but slow the velocity down.
Matter of fact part of the reason a K&N works so well is it straightens the airflow out.
Also air swirl before the MAF (if it's mounted there?) causes erratic readings and drops performance and efficiency. Worst case scenario is it causes random lean spots 
There is a reason why it doesn't work and is constantly made fun of. 
dude didn't you see the tornado effect, they showed it themsevles!! It does something, I know it does...I just don't know what

You know, I initially regretted starting this thread because the product in question is a useless scam piece of junk, and some people got the impression that I was a sap who was actually planning to buy one. But after the many hilarious reponses I've seen I'm glad that I did. It turns out this little tin air-swirling piece of crap IS actually effective - effective at causing people to pee their pants with laughter.
Keep the far-fetched Tornado "success" stories comin!
