Default Turbonators and tornado air charger/fuel saver?

Do these air charger turbonators and tornado things really work and inprove MPG? They are the little things you stick in the intake. I'm thinking about getting one, any advice?

don't. All it does is create restriction and give you LESS air flow after the maf-s making you run slightly rich and getting worse mileage/less power. basically when you see **** like these, think of this-

If ford could have done this stock without breaking any emissions laws....why wouldn't they if it was so great and so cheap?

Thumbs up Fuel Saver

Both devices you mention are really considered worthless junk and are often the butt of message board jokes. They do not work.

These things are such a scam that if you report them on ebay they will take down the product.

I've never heard of any product that's got such a bad reputation that they do that.
