I just ordered 2 of them... imagine how much power I'd gain by putting 2 of them in-line in my air intake.

Put a couple in the exhaust to get better scavenging. One on each wheel hub will help spin 'em up faster.

Yeah I don't know how people can fall prey to these things. For $25, if they really worked that well then the manufacturers would install them.

There is some truth to the philosophy. Think of a sink full of water. If you stir the water to make a cyclone it drains faster. That is the concept. the fan spins as air is pulled through it, creating a cyclone to the intake. This would "in theroy and physics" increase the air flow.

For $20 buck at Autozone, I'd try it. Not gonna spend money on shipping for it. Also, they are only 2.5" inlet...not compatible with the 4" Homebrew CAI.

this is similar idea to the old poweraid spacer that had the helical design cut into it saying that it mixed with the fuel and atomized it better. Too bad we are multiport injection and this type of shyt don't work. Wonder if your throttle body will like it when that dumb fan comes off and jams itself in there too lol.

There is some truth to the philosophy. Think of a sink full of water. If you stir the water to make a cyclone it drains faster. This occurs because your retard plumber didn't hook up a vent to your sink, in order for the water to drain the air has to basically push it down the pipe.

The theory behind this thing is sound, Its based off of aviation technology.When I was in the Navy we had the same "type" of system for our aircraft engines. Ours was called a vortex generator, and also had a first stage of stationary engine blades to help direct and cyclone the airflow. Now with that being said, Im not sure if our trucks gain any from cycloning the air flow to the engine. Either way Im not going to be the first guy to buy one.
