That has 2 leaf blows attached to the intake, thus a home made blower! LOL!

That's funny, I wonder if they actually do anything.

I saw one of those electric blowers at SEMA last year. They are as funny face-to-face as they are in pictures. What I really like in the picture is that it looks like none of the incoming air is going thru the filter elements.

I don't see how the air coming up the tubes is being filtered...anything you suck up is going straight into the engine...

It's worthless that's for sure. Unless they've done something to address extra need for fuel it'd do little. Not to mention at $70 per unit I would question reliability. With a potential failure and the way those tube are organized there would be a definate loss in air velocity. Which would almost defeat the purpose. Engines are pretty good vacuums and can draw their own air. Best thing is to dofree up it's potential to draw more in. Bends like what's in that person's setup makes free flowing worse.

I would put this up there with throttle body spacer. Unless it's the real deal don't do it.
