I've seen these at Autozone and their websites. Anybody know if it is any good? Any plus for some hp/tq and mpg?

I can't believe AutoZone actually sells that eBay garbage. My local AutoZone has a sh*t load of them sitting on a back shelf collecting dust.
Why would anyone want to pay $60 for something the reduces HP?

I've seen them actually sponsering TV programs. That means people are actually buying them. TV ad time is NOT cheap!

If 50 cents worth of bent sheetmetal really made an improvement in HP and fuel economy, every car in existence would have one from the factory.
I could see it POSSIBLY helping in a car with a carburetor or throttle-body injection. But in a modern car, there's just no way. The air would somehow have to keep swirling as it passed through the throttle body, through the upper intake, into each runner, and finally as it passed the fuel injector and entered the combusion chamber. Not likely.
